VW Beetle Wheel Fitment Guide (5x100)
Everything you need to know about wheel fitment on the 2000–2014 VW Beetle — PCD, offset and recommended sizes.
The Basics
All New Beetle and Beetle A5 models use a 5x100 PCD with a 57.1mm centre bore and M14 studs. Stick to this fitment and most 5x100 VW/Audi wheels will seat correctly with the right centric rings.
Recommended Sizes
17-inch is the most practical upgrade for daily use; 18-inch concave wheels give the most aggressive look but pick tyre sidewall carefully for UK roads. Avoid stretched tyres on a car that'll see speed bumps.
Spacers for Stance
15–20mm hub-centric spacers are a cheap way to push the wheels flush with the arches, especially on standard-offset alloys. Always use longer bolts or spacer hardware rated for the load.
Preview Your Fitment
Use the configurator to see how different wheel styles and sizes look on your Beetle before you commit — especially helpful when planning spacers or a lowering spring at the same time.
