alloy wheel upgrade

[R11dyw]

Hi, New to the forum so please excuse if this topic has been touched on many times before. I have recently purchased a 2016 mk4 swab caddy the highline model. It can with standard 15” alloys. They look lille small on the van. I do not want to put big wheels on but was thinking 17” would look better. I have searched and looked at fleecy and seen many that look ok. I just want to know your thoughts and what VW/Audi/Or any others that will be a straight swap without any adaptations. I am aware that the stud pattern needs to be 5x112 and the centre hub and offset confuse me and what options i have without adaptations
Thank you in advance

I also have a mrk4 highline with 15ins I am upgrading to 18s to allow for bigger brakes. You can fit any off the vag range wheels on your van.

Aren’t the mk5 caddy wheels 5x120 instead of 5x112 though

Got a caddy mk4 now and I’m putting 17’ alloys on soon. They some aftermarket alloys from a golf mk5.

The caddy is on 16’ Vw standard alloys.

If I was to uprate to big brake callipers, could anyone tell me plz would either of these sets of wheels fit?

Hi would you have any pics of your caddy with the wheels in questions just to see the fit ?
Thanks

I’ve been speaking to my local garage about big brakes and rim sizes.

They said that different rims will have different clearance for callipers. They said that even some 18” rims will not give enough clearance for big brake callipers so I think 17” rims will definitely be too small.

I would have preferred to go for 17” rims personally so that I can avoid fitting low-profile tyres. I think there is a bit of scope to slightly increase the overall outer diameter, but I’m not sure. Ideally you still want to allow for room to lower it, around 50-60mm?

Hey jackel, Caddy V does use slightly larger tires in diameter doesn't it? Is the speedo still fine as you say and no problems with tire clearances?
On willtheyfit.com it states that with Caddy V 215/55 R17 wheels the speedo will read 4.5% lower compared to 205/50 R17 on Caddy IV.
I would like to mount larger wheels but IDK what to do with speedo then, since it must not under-read
