Volkswagen Passat wheel fitment — Vii Alltrack 3C, 3c
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 (Vii) Alltrack 3C, 3c (2005–2015).
| 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–9J | ET25–ET42 |
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 Passat Alltrack 3C is part of the seventh generation of the Passat series. It was introduced as an all-wheel-drive variant with increased ground clearance and off-road capabilities, making it suitable for both urban driving and light off-road adventures. The Alltrack is based on the MQB platform, which offers improved fuel efficiency and a more modern interior compared to its predecessor. Production took place from 2014 until 2022.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 175,564 Volkswagen Passat on UK roads, placing it in the top 2% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
That makes Volkswagen Passat wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.
