Wheels from BMW Z1 on Volkswagen Caddy: compatible?

Yes, the hub is identical

Same 4x100 PCD and same 57.1 mm centre bore: wheels from BMW Z1 bolt on and centre on Volkswagen Caddy without rings. You still need to check the offset and tyres, detailed below.

Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from BMW Z1 is compared with the one from Volkswagen Caddy of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

    Compared with the original ≈6.5Jx15 ET48 on Volkswagen Caddy: shock absorber side −23 mm, wheel arch side +23 mm, tyre diameter −6.3 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Volkswagen Caddy (205/65R15), not that of BMW Z1. Comparison for guidance only (estimated width). Check in detail

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Volkswagen Caddy (M12x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
