hey i found some wheels and just wondering if they will fit on a mkv 5 r32

you will want 5x112 (lorinser being a high-end Mercedes tuner, and Merc fitment being 5x112 PCD i cant see there being a problem there).

then width and ET. I am guessing 8.5 - 9.5 widths, which will goovern your ET.

Centre bore may or may not be the same also.

Are you buying these second-hand or new? If new, they may build the rim to your specs. Ie, you provide them with 5x112, MkV centrebore and width and ET's required and they make the rim like that for you?

You are also going to need some hubcentric rings to allow you to run those wheels as the Merc centerbores are 66mm vs. the VW's of 57.1mm. These can be had for a few bucks at any good tire place.

you will defiantely need to organise some adaptors from H&R or another similar manufacturer.

you sure? is this as they are a far safer option than running rings?? (with respect to the CB)

i ask because i thought the PCD was the same...

i'd imagine 19" diameter

look on the underside of the rim and it should say 8.5J or something. thats your width

then ET XX (XX is a number)

that will sort fitting, then the centrebore problem. Which as george said, may need adapters for, or hubcentric rings.
