Volkswagen Passat wheel fitment

Volkswagen Passat 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 Passat Cc / Cc 3CC (1973–present).

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:

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.
