Vauxhall Zafira wheel fitment — Zafira-A

By Torque, AIWheelTech vehicle & fitment specialist · 1999–2005

The Vauxhall Zafira-A (1999–2005) uses a 5x110 bolt pattern, 65.1 mm centre bore, M12x1.5 bolts torqued to ~110 Nm. It accepts ~6J–8J wheels at ET35–ET47. That is the short version of Vauxhall Zafira wheel fitment; the full picture is below.

Overview

The Vauxhall Zafira-A, also known as the Opel Zafira A, was a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) produced from January 1999 to May 2005. It shared its T platform with the Opel Astra G and featured seating for seven passengers in three rows. The Flex 7 system allowed the split back seat to fold into the floor, increasing cargo space without removing seats. Initially offered with petrol engines and a single diesel option, it later received newer 'Z' engine generation models meeting Euro 3 emissions standards.

History & notable variants

The Zafira A was co-developed with Porsche and debuted as a concept at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1997 before entering production in January 1999. It ranked third in European Car of the Year for 2000, behind only the Fiat Multipla and Toyota Yaris. The model received a facelift in February 2003 and was sold under various marques globally until its discontinuation in Europe in May 2005.

Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Vauxhall Zafira wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Vauxhall Zafira-A.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:

As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.

UK popularity & demand

Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 157,671 Vauxhall Zafira on UK roads, placing it in the top 2% of car models by volume across our fitment database.

That makes Vauxhall Zafira wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.
