Fitting wheels on a Volkswagen Polo 6R

A Volkswagen Polo 6R (2009–2017) 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 ET35 to ET46. 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 M14x1.5, tightened to 125 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
  • Tyres: original fitment is 175/70R14, 185/60R15, 195/55R16, 215/45R16. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Volkswagen Polo 6R?

A Volkswagen Polo 6R (2009–2017) has a PCD of 5x100: 5 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 100 mm in diameter.

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

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

The recorded original offset is ET35 to ET46 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.

What tightening torque for the wheels of a Volkswagen Polo 6R?

The specified tightening torque is 125 Nm for M14x1.5 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 Polo 6R?

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