MK6 rims on MK7

I bought a pre-owned 2015 Golf TDi SE. So far I'm thrilled with everything except the garbage tires that the dealer put on when it was turned in. Being that I live in Denver, my plan is to buy a set of lightly used rims/tires from someone who is turning their car in and put proper snow tires on my 16 inchers. That way I can switch them myself each spring and fall without paying a tire guy $60 every time.

Here's where I'm completely ignorant:

Will 225/45/17 from a MK6 fit on my MK7 with 205/55/16? I'm looking at some stock 17 inchers from a 2012 Sportwagon that have a 50mm offset, whereas my rims (according to tirerack.com) have a 40mm offset. Is that going to look funny? Will they bolt on as is?

Thanks for your help!

My understanding is that Mk5, Mk6 and Mk7 wheels are all interchangeable.

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm running MK 5 wheels (17" denvers, in fact!) on my '15 TDI right now. No problems at all.

Plus, they are rather unique looking.

B5 Passat, Tiguan and CC wheels will all work too. I have some 2014 wheels on the W8.

I put Twister wheels from a Beetle on mine....no problems at all and (in my opinion) I think they look pretty cool.

Just to update: there are a lot of deals to be had on MK5 and MK6 wheels. I bought a set of 225/45/17 wheels with almost new (<1000 miles) Continentals for a laughable amount of money. The guy turned his car in with steelies and bald winter tires. What I was afraid were a couple of bad wheel bearings turned out to be the $35 tires the dealer put on. Love my Golf even more now!
