Fitting wheels on a Volkswagen Polo AW

A Volkswagen Polo AW (from 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 ET38 to ET51. 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. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
  • Tyres: original fitment is 185/70R14, 185/65R15, 215/45R17. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

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 Polo AW without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Volkswagen Polo AW?

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

Does a Volkswagen Polo AW need a hub centric ring?

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

The recorded original offset is ET38 to ET51 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 AW?

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