Rims for the Volkswagen Transporter
The Volkswagen Transporter is one of Europe's best-selling vans. Dependable, versatile and as at home as a panel van on site as it is as a family bus on holiday. Whether you drive a T5, T6 or T7, the rim choice affects how it feels to drive, its fuel consumption and its appearance. Enter your registration number and we will show you straight away which rims fit your vehicle.
What should you consider when choosing rims for the Volkswagen Transporter?
The Volkswagen Transporter has run through many generations and the bolt pattern has changed over time. The T4 runs an entirely different pattern from the T5 and T6, so the model year is decisive before you order. The T5 and T6, on the other hand, share the same bolt pattern, which makes finding the right rim straightforward for most Transporter owners on the market today. The ET value on the Transporter is generally around ET55–ET62, which is high compared with passenger cars. Choose too low an ET and you risk rubbing against the arch or the rim catching the brakes and suspension.
Bolt pattern and hub diameter on the Volkswagen Transporter
The right bolt pattern is the basic condition for a rim to fit. Here is what applies: Volkswagen Transporter T4 (1990–2003): 5x112, hub diameter 57.1 mm. Volkswagen Transporter T5 (2003–2015): 5x120, hub diameter 65.1 mm. Volkswagen Transporter T6 and T6.1 (2015–): 5x120, hub diameter 65.1 mm. Volkswagen Transporter T7 (2024–): 6x120, hub diameter 74.6 mm. The T5 and T6 share the same bolt pattern, which makes swapping rims between those generations easy. The T4 and T7 are an entirely different chapter; do not mix them up. Enter your registration number on our site and the right rims are filtered out automatically.
Which rim size fits the Volkswagen Transporter?
The original sizes vary by variant and model year: Transporter T5 base model: 16–18 inches. Transporter T5 and T6 mid-level: 16–18 inches. Transporter T6.1 Highline and California: 17–20 inches. Transporter T7 (2024–): 16–20 inches. Many Transporter owners choose to go up to 18 inches for a fuller look. Remember that load capacity always has to come first: never choose a rim or tyre with a lower load rating than the original.
