On the barrel or backside of the wheel will be some measurements. You are looking for something like 5x114mm or 5x4.5" for bolt pattern, stud size 12x1.25, hub bore size 66.1mm. If you have a larger bore wrote on the back of there, you need a HUB spacer which literally expands the hub size.

This should help

^^^ He is correct. For example The Hub bore on Volks is usually 73.1 bit our hubs are 66.1. This would cause the wheel to not fit properly and possibly cause vibration. Search for "hubcentric spacers" on eBay or online. The Gs wheel ore is 66.1. You will need to find out the wheelbore of your PIAAs. You'll want a 66.1 inside diameter and the outside diameter (OD) will be the size PIAA wheelbore.
