    Any 5 stud should really, does the Bora have those annoying VAG studs where you need to align the wheel to the actual hanging point while threading the nuts instead of being able to pop the wheel into place

    What engine is in your Bora ? 15'' wheels may not fit.

    The choice of cars whose wheels you have to choose from are as follows.

    MK4 Golf
    New Beetle.
    Skoda octavia
    Skoda Fabia
    Audi A3/S3 MK1
    Audi TT MK1
    Seat Leon
    Seat Toledo

    Would 15s fit on over 288mm disks? If so Id say the op is safe enough as there would be very few boras with bigger disks knocking about

    :D
    Do all the 1.8T's have 312mm's? thought most only had the 288mm setup?
    I know the v6 and the 170bhp v5 had 312s as standard.

    No the don't you are right Sean, something in the back of my mind was telling me all 1.8T Bora's were 180bhp.
