If you’re looking to buy or swap wheels with a 5x112 bolt pattern, it’s crucial to make sure they fit your vehicle. This post aims to shed some light on which car models are compatible with 5x112 wheels, helping others in the same boat.

What is the 5x112 Bolt Pattern?

The 5x112 bolt pattern means that there are 5 bolts that fit into a circle with a diameter of 112mm. This is a common bolt pattern found on various vehicles, especially from certain car manufacturers.

Here’s a list of brands and models that typically use this bolt pattern:

  • Volkswagen
    • Golf
    • Passat

How to Check Wheel Compatibility

Before purchasing, consider these factors beyond the bolt pattern:

  • Offset: The distance from the hub mounting surface to the wheel’s centerline affects how far the wheel sits inward or outward.
  • Diameter: Ensure that the diameter of the wheel matches the specifications for your vehicle.
  • Brake Clearance: Make sure the wheels clear your brakes; some high-performance vehicles have large brake calipers that require specific wheel designs.

Conclusion

Knowing that a given wheel pattern fits is just one piece of the puzzle. If you’re switching wheels or considering a purchase, double-check these specifications.
