   Hi,
   Just picked up a bargin, and have got some 205 GTI wheels.
   Just wondered if i need new wheel bolts for them?
   And also, if 195 50 15 is the correct tyre size, as kwik fit seem to be saying i should run 185 55 15's.
   
   Cheers.

   if you want them to fit flush then i think you do need new bolts. im not too sure about tyre sizes to be honest.
