Mercedes Citan wheel fitment for the Mercedes Citan (I) (2012–2026): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8.5J | ET8–ET45 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.

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.
