Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment — Vii Gte Hybrid AU
Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment
Volkswagen 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 Golf (Vii) Gte Hybrid AU (1974–present).
| 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 |
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.
Overview
The Volkswagen Golf (Vii) GTE Hybrid AU is part of the seventh generation of the popular compact car, produced by Volkswagen since 1974. This specific model represents a hybrid variant introduced later in the generation's lifecycle, focusing on efficiency and performance with its plug-in hybrid technology. It was built on the MQB platform shared with other VW Group models like the Audi A3, SEAT Leon, and Skoda Octavia. The Golf VII saw improvements over its predecessor in terms of size, weight reduction, and technological advancements.
