Depends on what size your brakes are?

14" is the standard size. Usually fitted with a 105/70 R14 84F tyre.

Some of the Golf MK3.5 cabriolets had 15" 4x100 spacesavers.

Does it have to be vw? Try the local scrappy Renault and I think Vauxhall use 4x100 maybe one of those would have a suitable 15" space saver. The only issue I can think of is that it might not fit in the spare wheel well. I seem to remember the 14" standard one is a pretty tight fit. Might be wrong though, mine is now filled by a 12" sub. :-).

Mine will be filled with sub too. But with no rear seat, I was going to make a bag for it and chuck it I'm the rear footwell
