Good luck cant imagine anyone doing a 17 in steel and if you found one it wouldn't be 4 x 100 .
Got 16" steel on our Sharan I know vw use 4 x 100 but cant remember if the sharan is 5 hole.

Not sure to be honest, but because of the size of them, it would be like running 25mm+ spacers

Blinking heck! I think adaptors are out the question then - inwas thinkin of running spacers, but in 12mm.

Hmmm might have to take a trip to a few breakers yards!

Can you not use alloy, or is it a surface area requirement?
