The T4 (and T2 & T25) are 5 X 112 which is the same as some Audi and Mercedes. I don't know of any Jap ones that fit.

5 x 112 is a Euro fitment, the UK ford have that size in older cars like granadas etc, no japs will fit,

plug time, check my website for some alloys for you needs

Hi and thanks for the info. Any idea where that puts Passat wheels?

B5 Passat ('97 on) are 5 X 112

Earlier Passats are the same as Golf (4 X 100)

BTW Just noticed a T5 on the way home from the Golf run and saw that the wheels are 16".

Hi Guys.......have come across some Merc mags


PCD 5 x 112 with an offset of 42......will they fit on the T4 with no probs.


Also if one decides to fit either audi/passat/merc mags on a T4, is there a problem with load ratings...........are the mags able to comply with the steel wheel load carrying capacity.

I wouldnt want to have any insurance probs if I had a bingle. :roll:

Also the nuts are M12 not M14. They will fit, but the ball taper is different and can crack the wheels. I had special nuts made for my syncro.

Thanks again Syncro....cost of special nuts please and would your Man do another set if I went down that path.

Also ...no comment was made regarding the load carrying capacity of mags ??

I used standard Kombi nuts and machined them down to a M12 taper.
You could probably use M12 nuts and drill and tap them M14.
Do you know someone with a lathe as I have lost contact with my machinist.

My mags were aftermarket, so I got in touch with the manufacturer for the load ratings.

Just to inform....it appears that Speedy Wheels provides a number of alloy wheel patterns in 17" to 20" with offsets of ET35 and ET40 (which is what you'd want from a 7" plus wide wheel) that are available to be custom drilled to any PCD and hub centre diameter. As a bonus these are wheel styles that they list as having high load ratings.





Also the Cougar style is available in 15x7 with 5x112PCD & ET35 load rated
