Fitting wheels on a Volkswagen Polo 6N

A Volkswagen Polo 6N (1994–2001) uses a 4x100 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: 4x100 required. See all vehicles with 4x100.
  • 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 ET35 to ET43. 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 M12x1.5. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
  • Tyres: original fitment is 155/70R13, 175/65R13, 185/55R14, 195/45R15. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Generations of the Volkswagen Polo

Previous generation: Volkswagen Polo 1 (1975–1981) — same 4x100 bolt pattern and same centre bore: original wheels swap between the two generations; check offset and diameter. Next generation: Volkswagen Polo 9N (2001–2009) — the bolt pattern changes (5x100 instead of 4x100): the wheels are not interchangeable.

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore

Same 4x100 PCD and same 57.1 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Volkswagen Polo 6N without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Volkswagen Polo 6N?

A Volkswagen Polo 6N (1994–2001) has a PCD of 4x100: 4 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 100 mm in diameter.

Does a Volkswagen Polo 6N need a hub centric ring?

The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Volkswagen Polo 6N 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 Polo 6N?

The recorded original offset is ET35 to ET43 depending on the version and wheel size. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.

Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Volkswagen Polo 6N?

With the same PCD (4x100) and the same centre bore (57.1 mm), these include: Volkswagen XL1, Volkswagen Cross Up, Volkswagen e-Up, Volkswagen Up. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
