All MQB & MQB-A0 Volkswagens — 5×112

Every model below uses the same 5×112 PCD and 57.1mm centre bore. Older Mk4-and-earlier Golf/Polo (5×100) and the Touareg (5×112 but a larger 66.6mm bore) are not compatible with this product — check the Coming Soon section below if that's your car.

Coming Soon — Transporter, Amarok & Older Volkswagens

These fall into a few different groups, for different reasons.

Transporter — T5 and T6/T6.1 use a different bolt pattern to the current MQB range and need their own product. If you drive a T4, it may actually share our current 5×112/57.1mm fitment — message us to confirm before assuming either way.

Amarok — a different platform to the passenger-car range, fitment not yet confirmed.

Older 5×100 models — Mk4-and-earlier Golf, Polo, Jetta, Bora and Beetle use a 5×100 bolt pattern, not the 5×112 our current product is bored for.

Caddy and Atlas — not yet confirmed against our current 5×112/57.1mm product. Caddy may share the MQB-related fitment, but we're not stating that as fact until it's verified.

Touareg — different bore, not just older

The Touareg uses 5×112 like our current range, but with a larger 66.6mm centre bore rather than 57.1mm — a different product, not a variant of this one.

Thickness & pricing

Choose Your Spacer Thickness

Four thicknesses available. Each pair ships with extended bolts matched to your chosen thickness.

Thickness Best for Popular models
10mm Coming soon Subtle stance correction
12mm Subtle stance correction, daily-drivable Golf, Polo, Passat
15mm Most popular — OEM+ stance without going aggressive GTI, GTD, Golf R
20mm Flush fitment — check clearance on lowered cars Lowered GTI/R builds
25mm Aggressive stance — wider setups Show/track builds
Mixing thicknesses

Many owners run different thicknesses front and rear. The product page lets you select and order different thicknesses in a single transaction.

Why Brightstone Engineering

Built for Volkswagen. Made in Britain.

Hubcentric precision
Bored to 57.1mm to match your Volkswagen hub exactly. The hub carries lateral load — not the bolts. No vibration, no centering rings required.
Extended bolts included
Every kit ships with extended M14×1.5 ball-seat wheel bolts sized to your chosen thickness. No separate bolt purchase required — everything you need is in the box.
UK CNC machined
Every spacer machined from 6082-T6 billet aluminium in our UK workshop. Not imported, not relabelled — made to tight tolerances for performance fitment.
Before you order

Common Volkswagen Wheel Spacer Mistakes

01
Assuming every VW uses 5×112
Mk4-and-earlier Golf, Polo, Jetta and Bora use 5×100, not 5×112. Always check your chassis and model year before ordering.
02
Buying universal, non-hubcentric spacers
Universal spacers rely on the wheel bolts alone to centre the wheel instead of the hub, which often causes vibration and uneven loading. Always use spacers hubcentric to your specific Volkswagen.
03
Reusing the original wheel bolts
Standard-length bolts are too short once a spacer is added. Extended bolts are required for correct thread engagement — every Brightstone kit includes them.
04
Going too thick
Bigger isn't always better — excessive thickness can cause tyre rubbing and reduced suspension clearance. Check arch clearance before choosing 20mm or 25mm.
05
Skipping the re-torque check
Wheel bolts should always be re-checked after the first 50–100 miles to confirm the spacer has fully seated and clamping force is maintained.
The good news

Every one of these is avoidable. Correctly specified hubcentric spacers, the right extended bolts, and proper installation make Volkswagen wheel spacers a safe, reliable modification used by thousands of owners across the UK.

Installation

Fitting Volkswagen Wheel Spacers

01
Confirm your PCD and bore
Check whether your Volkswagen is 5×112/57.1mm before ordering. If unsure, message us your registration.
02
Clean the hub face
Remove any dirt, corrosion or debris. The spacer must sit perfectly flat against the hub for correct hubcentric seating.
03
Locate the spacer on the hub
The spacer locates on the hub register and sits flush against the hub face. It should not rock or move once seated.
04
Refit the wheel with the supplied extended bolts
Torque using a calibrated wrench in a star pattern. Do not use an impact gun for final tightening.
05
Re-torque after 50–100 miles
Re-check bolt torque after the first drive to confirm the assembly has fully seated and clamping load is maintained.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my Volkswagen use 5×112?
Golf Mk5 onwards, Passat B6 onwards, Tiguan, Polo Mk5 onwards, Scirocco, T-Roc, Arteon, Touran Mk2 onwards and ID.3/ID.4 all use 5×112. Mk4-and-earlier Golf/Polo/Jetta use 5×100. If you're unsure, message us your registration and we'll confirm before you order.
Are extended bolts included?
Yes. Every Brightstone Volkswagen spacer kit includes extended M14×1.5 ball-seat wheel bolts sized to your chosen spacer thickness. You don't need to source bolts separately.
What size spacers should I fit to my GTI or Golf R?
15mm is the most popular all-round choice. Some owners run 12mm front and 15mm rear for a more conservative front fitment. 20mm works well on lowered cars — check arch clearance first.
Are Volkswagen wheel spacers safe?
Yes, when correctly specified, installed with the correct extended bolts and torqued properly. Hubcentric spacers bored to 57.1mm locate on the hub register — the hub carries lateral load rather than the bolts.
Do wheel spacers affect wheel alignment?
No — properly fitted hubcentric spacers don't change camber, caster or toe, since they don't alter any suspension geometry; they simply move the wheel further out along the existing hub axis. It's still worth a quick geometry check after any modification.
What is the guarantee?
All Brightstone spacers carry a lifetime guarantee covering materials and manufacturing defects. UK-made — if there is an issue with the part, we stand behind it.
Legal & MOT (UK)

The MOT test doesn't prohibit wheel spacers directly — it checks that wheels and tyres don't protrude beyond the bodywork. Correctly sized spacers that keep the wheel within the arch aren't an MOT concern on that basis. As with any modification, you should declare fitted spacers to your insurer. This is general guidance, not a substitute for checking your specific policy or vehicle requirements.
