Volkswagen E-Golf wheel fitment — Vii AU
Quick answer on Volkswagen E-Golf wheel fitment: The Volkswagen E-Golf (Vii) AU (2012–2021) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern, 57.1 mm centre bore, M14x1.5 bolts torqued to ~120 Nm. It accepts ~6J–8.5J wheels at ET35–ET52.
Volkswagen E-Golf wheel fitment
Volkswagen E-Golf 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 Volkswagen E-Golf (Vii) AU (2012–2021).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8.5J | ET35–ET52 |
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.
Overview
The Volkswagen E-Golf is the electric variant of the seventh generation Golf compact car. It was introduced in Germany in February 2014 and became available for pre-order in Norway in late February, with deliveries starting in June 2014. In the UK, sales began at the end of June 2014. The E-Golf shares the MQB platform with other Volkswagen Group models like the Audi A3, SEAT León, and Škoda Octavia but is distinguished by its electric drivetrain. It was produced in Germany until late December 2020 due to high demand, after which production shifted to China where it continued into 2021.

History & notable variants
The E-Golf underwent significant upgrades for the 2017 model year (Mk7.5), including an improved battery pack with a greater storage capacity of 35.8 kWh and upgraded onboard charger capabilities, increasing its range to 300 km on the NEDC scale. The car was discontinued in Europe by late December 2020 as demand for electric vehicles shifted towards newer models like the ID.3.
