Volkswagen Transporter wheel fitment — T6 7HC
Overview
The Volkswagen Transporter T6 is the sixth generation of the Volkswagen Transporter vans, succeeding the T5. It was manufactured by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and assembled in Hannover, Germany; Poznań, Poland; and Kaluga, Russia. The T6 retained the 7H/7J platform from its predecessor but featured numerous updates including a new dashboard layout, LED lighting options, and advanced driver assistance systems. Available in various body styles such as van, pick-up truck, minibus, crew cab, chassis cab, and campervan, it was positioned between Volkswagen's larger Crafter and smaller Caddy models.
Volkswagen Transporter wheel fitment
Volkswagen Transporter wheel fitment for the Volkswagen (T6) 7HC (2015–2022): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x120 |
| Centre bore | 65.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–9.5J | ET35–ET56 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 16,862 Volkswagen Transporter on UK roads, placing it in the top 11% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
That makes Volkswagen Transporter wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.

History & notable variants
The T6 underwent a mid-cycle refresh to become the T6.1 in 2019, featuring electric power steering for enhanced driver assist functions and minor styling updates. In 2020, ABT e-Line collaborated with VW to introduce the ABT e-Transporter 6.1 as an electric variant of the T6.1. The T6 series was discontinued in favor of the MQB-based Multivan T7 due to EU regulations requiring cybersecurity compliance for new vehicles from 2024.
