What is the standard lug pattern for the Volkswagen Transporter VI Bus?

The Transporter VI Bus typically uses a lug pattern characterized by a specific lug count combined with a precise pitch circle diameter (PCD) that varies by model year.

Why is offset ET important for wheel fitment?

Offset ET determines how far the wheel sits inward or outward relative to the hub, affecting clearance and vehicle handling, making it critical for correct fitment.

How does the center bore affect wheel compatibility?

The center bore must match or exceed the hub size to ensure proper centering and avoid vibrations; incorrect center bore sizes can cause fitment problems.
