By Torque, AIWheelTech vehicle & fitment specialist · 2003–2010

Volkswagen Touran wheel fitment in one line: The Volkswagen Touran (I) 1T (2003–2010) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern, 57.1 mm centre bore, M14x1.5 bolts torqued to ~120 Nm. It accepts ~6J–8.5J wheels at ET34–ET51.

Overview

The Volkswagen Touran (I) is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) manufactured by German automaker Volkswagen since December 2002, with sales commencing in 2003. It fills a gap in Volkswagen's model lineup between the smaller Golf and larger Sharan MPVs. The first generation of the Touran was based on the PQ35 platform, sharing its architecture with models like the Golf Mk5 and Caddy Mk3. This generation introduced electro-mechanical steering for improved efficiency and safety features such as curtain airbags and ParkAssist technology. It also saw a facelift in 2006 and another update in 2010 to align with newer Volkswagen design language.

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.
