Hoping someone can advise me whether vw golf (18" alloys) will fit on a 2012 multivan. Both have a 5 stud pattern.
I am also interested in what aftermarket wheels people have used on multivans, I'm wanting 18" and black
TIA

Golf has a smaller PCD than the Multivan.

You need something with a stud pattern of 5x120. Amarok and BMW X5 wheels are common on them. Some people use Commodore wheels, but I don't believe they are adequately load-rated.

On my work T5 I have a set of factory alloys but they were off a Holden Crewman 1 tonner with a V8 engine so no worries on the load rating side there . Our new T5 has Koya wheels and they are load rated by the manufacturers to match VW specs .Search Results | Koya Wheels

i always see the 18 inch amarok black rims up for sale on gumtree, they are load rated and the ET isn't that much different to the Transporter/mulitvan.

I am running 18 inch Amarok rims as well with 255/45r18 103y Bridgestone Potenzas. You will be stuffed for tire choice if you dont get 5 rims. because if you get a flat your spare will not match the standard 17 inch.

Comforser CF300 is available in 215/65R16C. (same meaning as LT, and has a 107R load rating)

I don't have much experience with highway tyres but since you are going off blacktop.

I was in a Mitsubishi 4wd FB group, all good stories about its muddies (CF3000). even youtube reviews in the US.

Just fitted these tires to my T6 4motion and the trip from Sydney to Goulburn was comfortable and they seem to be good tire option.

Are the amarok wheels a straight bolt on?

Yep, same bolts etc.

Just need to ensure you're using the right sized tyres on them.

What tyre pressure are you running?

I got the first opportunity to run the Multivan since I fitted the 255/45r18 103y Bridgestone Potenzas on Amarok rims on an open road today.

For joy, the speedo reads as well as the eye discerns exactly the same with the 18s as the 16s when I set the GPS to 100 kmh - let's call it 103.5. More surprising to me was that the ride seems substantially kinder, or maybe that reflected the characteristics of the Michelins I was running before.

I found that too. And that's with sagged out rear springs and shocks. I'm on 19s though.

Hi there, has anyone looked at the 18x8 Amarok wheels? Some of them going very cheap on ebay.... might be a nice upgrade???


Cheers,

Pete.
