Mercedes Citan wheel fitment — I
Mercedes Citan wheel fitment
Mercedes Citan wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Mercedes Citan (I) (2012–2026).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x108 |
| Centre bore | 60.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 108 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8.5J | ET8–ET45 |
Width and offset move together: roughly 8 to 10 ET more for every extra 1J keeps the wheel inside the arch. Final offset and any spacer come from the fit-check.
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz Citan is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle introduced in 2012 as a badge-engineered variant of the Renault Kangoo. It is marketed by Mercedes-Benz as the successor to the Vaneo compact MPV, making it the smallest model offered alongside the mid-size Vito (aka Viano, V-Class, and EQV) and large Sprinter. The Citan is assembled in Maubeuge, France, by Renault subsidiary MCA, alongside its twin, the Kangoo.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 915 Mercedes Citan on UK roads, placing it in the top 31% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
A parc that size is why Mercedes Citan wheel fitment is worth getting exactly right: a lot of owners are shopping for these numbers.

History & notable variants
The first generation of the Mercedes-Benz Citan was launched as a result of Daimler's partnership with the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. It aimed to cater to both passenger car and light commercial vehicle markets, marking the return of Mercedes-Benz in the commercial vehicle market since 1995. The model received a three-star rating from Euro NCAP initially but was later reassessed after safety improvements were made.
