What Wheels / Rims fit my car?

[witchcraftz]

I've always had to spend some time researching which wheels rims are right for my car. ie: Will a rim for a 2003 Toyota Matrix fit on my 2004 Jetta? (yes)

I just stumbled across this website which will make my world a whole lot easier - and I hope yours.

Just enter your vehicle or your pattern (if you already know it) and it will match up what other car's wheels will fit your car.

As for tires, if you want to make sure they will match up to your car use this website's tool:

Using both of these you can make sure that your new wheels/tires will fit on your car.

Looks like no one finds this useful except me? Ah well at least I'll use it myself when I need to shop for wheels next.

OK, so I looked and I'm very impressd, assuming the info is correct.

So my 2002 Jetta has a 5 x 100 (5 x 3.94) and my brothers old Achevia SCX 5 spokes will fit on it? If so, I'm a happy boy.

From what I've checked of tires/rim combination from my previous vehicles, it works. Let me know if your rims/wheels work out for you.

Added a second site to help out with tires size matching

useful site, thanks
found out my jetta had 5 x 100mm from 1998 through the first half of 2005.
Couldn't find any information for my 2004 Passat though. Cannot find any Passat information later than 1998. I know the hub pattern is different.

Passats have been 5x112 for quite a while. Why not just look it up on Tirerack?

Great source of information...thanks

... Will a rim for a 2003 Toyota Matrix fit on my 2004 Jetta? (yes)...

Not without some mechanical intervention. The Toyota hub (and Pontiac Vibe) has a 54.1 center bore, the VW requires 57.1. So the offset and lug spacing is OK, but the center bore is not.

Will this fit my 2002 Jetta TDI wagon?

Stock size is 6Jx15 ET47, the wheel I want is: 6.5J X 15 ET 50, is that .5 and the 50 number make it a no go for my wagon? Please advise!


Sincerely,
Dan Maldonado

The stock size in 6 (6 inch wide wheel) with a 15 (15 inch diameter wheel) and an offset (ET) of 47.

The wheel you are interested in is 6.5 (6.5 inches wide) with a 15 (15 inch diameter wheel) and an offset of 50.

Those specs are pretty close, but will be impacted by the tire height and width, any changes you have to brakes, the wheel well, or ride height, etc.

Plug the numbers into a wheel calculator to get a visual of the comparison along with the differences.

 

[Powder Hound]

6.5 rim width is fine, and for a 15 inch wheel on a 2002, since the specified tire size is 195-65/15, the offset should be OK even out to 50mm. You will need to check the center bore. If it is an aftermarket wheel, you will want adapters to fit a 57.1 mm center bore. And don't forget the cone seat lug bolts you'll need. I haven't heard of an aftermarket wheel yet that doesn't have cone seat lug holes. VW uses ball seat lug bolts, and they don't play well with cone seat lug wheels.

Cheers,

PH

Found a set on tire rack that is supposed to be a direct fit, and it's cheaper only $100 a wheel. Here's the link...
Let me know if there's enough info there for you guys to let me know if it will fit the wagon.

^Wow made in Poland that's pretty cool!
They remind me of the old Avus:

I have the Avus, like the much thinner spoke design on the tire rack wheel though.

Old thread but was relevant to a search I did. High likelihood that 15 inch 5x100 corolla wheels will not fit a mk4. If you grind out the center bore to fit, they will mount but there isn't enough clearance for the brakes and as a result the wheels won't turn!

Hope this helps someone in the future
