Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Volkswagen Up! wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Volkswagen Cross Up! AA.

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.
