Questions
What bolt pattern does Volkswagen use?
It depends on the model. 5x112 is the most common in our guides (8 of 14), followed by 5x100, 4x100, 5x120. Look up the exact generation in the chart.
Do all Volkswagen wheels fit all Volkswagen cars?
No. Even with the same bolt pattern, centre bore, offset, width, brake clearance and fastener seat differ between models. Compare both cars' guides before swapping wheels.
What is the wheel torque for Volkswagen?
Between 110 and 180 Nm (81 to 133 lb-ft) across the models in our guides. Use the figure for your exact car and confirm it in the handbook.
What lug bolt size does Volkswagen use?
The threads in our Volkswagen guides are M12x1.5 (4-bolt) / M14x1.5 (5-bolt), M12x1.5, M14x1.5. Seat type (conical, ball or flat) matters as much as the thread; check it against your wheels.
