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 (Vii) R AU.
| 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–9J | ET32–ET52 |
Width and offset move together: roughly 8 to 10 ET more for every extra 1J keeps the wheel inside the arch. Final offset and any spacer come from the fit-check.
