Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Volkswagen Golf (MK8) Gte CD.
| 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 | 6.5J–8.5J | ET35–ET52 |
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.
