Volkswagen Crafter wheel fitment
Volkswagen Crafter wheel fitment for the Volkswagen Crafter (Ii) SYN1E (2016–2019): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x120 |
| Centre bore | 65.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 160 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8J | ET25–ET60 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
