Fitting wheels on a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou

A Volkswagen Passat 5 trou (1993–1996) uses a 5x100 PCD and a centre bore of 57.1 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

  • PCD: 5x100 required. See all vehicles with 5x100.
  • Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 57.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 57.1 mm.
  • Offset: the original is ET38. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
  • Fixings: thread M14x1.50, tightened to 110 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore

Same 5x100 PCD and same 57.1 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou?

A Volkswagen Passat 5 trou (1993–1996) has a PCD of 5x100: 5 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 100 mm in diameter.

Does a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou need a hub centric ring?

The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou is 57.1 mm. A wheel with a larger centre bore is fitted with a hub centric ring that brings it down to the hub diameter. A wheel with a smaller centre bore cannot be fitted.

What offset (ET) for a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou?

The recorded original offset is ET38. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.

What tightening torque for the wheels of a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou?

The specified tightening torque is 110 Nm for M14x1.50 fixings. Tighten in a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and check the tightness again after about fifty kilometres.

Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Volkswagen Passat 5 trou?

With the same PCD (5x100) and the same centre bore (57.1 mm), these include: Volkswagen Taigo, Volkswagen T-Cross, Volkswagen Polo AW, Volkswagen Polo 6R. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
