Nope, not without a fairly intensive and permanent conversion...
It sucks, but there's still some good 4 lug wheels out there.

No, but there are plenty others that wish they did. They would look so hot and factory at the same time. It just isn't cost effective to try and make adapters either. BTW, they should fit the 2nd gen xB coming out. It has the tC bolt patern!

They don't just bolt on, but if you were to get adapters, they would. However, considering your xB is 4x100 and the tC is 5x100, you'll need a beefy adapter.

I had found these adapters while considering a possible set of wheels for my future xB. I wanted a set of wheels that were 5x114.3... I found these adapters on ebay. They're obviously not something that can be used with terribly great results.

44mm thickness would drop the offset by 44mm. That's crazy.

There are some new adapters VW guys are using, i think they can be as thin as 15mm. Look on VWvortex forums, read about em on there.

For whatever reason I couldn't find a topic on the 5-lug conversion, but I know that it's a pretty regular practice in the VW world to do those conversions. Everyone around here tends to go against converting to 5-lug, but I was wondering... noticed today that the Prius is a 5-lug, and being similar size with front disk, rear drum, anyone know if the Prius 5-lug setup would allow for a reasonably easy conversion on the xB??
