The second generation Sharan underwent a facelift in 2015, introducing new electronic systems and engines with improved fuel efficiency. It continued to be produced until October 2022 when production ended after more than a decade of manufacturing at the AutoEuropa plant in Portugal. The model was discontinued in favor of newer models like the Volkswagen Viloran for the Chinese market.

Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Volkswagen Sharan wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Volkswagen Sharan (Ii) 7N.

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.
