Ya, usually you either redrill the hubs to do it right.  Or if you get lucky there might be another VAG hub/bearing that already has 4x108 and uses a dimensionally similar hub.

You should be able to use the front's off an Audi 4k, there have been a couple foxers that have done this (and if it can be done to a Fox, it can be done to a mk1).  Completely unsure about the rear.

My question though is... WTF?

Why would you want to?

The wheel selection for 4x100s is much bigger than for 4x108s. Unless you found a set of uber rare euro wheels in 4x108 that were a screaming deal.

are those Keizers?
I know where a mint set are but they're 4x100 if you're interested.  Maybe then you dont need to convert bolt pattern.
Anyhow here is the link http://www.thedov.com/forum/index.php?topic=107854.0
