Configure wheels for the Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI and R

Frequently asked questions: wheels for the Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI and R

What are the original offsets for the wheels of a Golf 6 GTI or R?

According to its Swiss vehicle type records, the same wheel on all four corners. The GTI has 6.5J x 16 with an offset of 50, 7J x 17 with an offset of 54, 7.5J x 17 or 7.5J x 18 with an offset of 51, and the 173 kW version 7.5J x 19 with the same offset of 51. The R has 7J x 17 with an offset of 47, 7.5J x 17 or 7.5J x 18 with an offset of 51. [8, 14, 18]

Which tyres, and which load index, does a Golf 6 GTI or R take?

205/55 R16 with a load index of 91, i.e. 615 kg per tyre; 225/45 R17 with an index of 91 on the GTI, i.e. 615 kg, and an index of 94 on the R, i.e. 670 kg; 225/40 R18 with an index of 92, i.e. 630 kg; 225/35 R19 with an index of 88 on the 173 kW GTI, i.e. 560 kg. [8, 14, 18, 25, 26]

What is the load per wheel on a Golf 6 GTI or R?

Its Swiss vehicle type records give a permissible load of 1,040 kg on the front axle (1,060 kg in the one of November 2012) and 880 kg on the rear axle for the 155 kW GTI, i.e. 520 (530) and 440 kg per wheel, and 1,090 and 970 kg for the R, i.e. 545 and 485 kg per wheel. The 225/40 R18 tyre with a load index of 92 carries 630 kg. [8, 13, 18, 25, 26]

What PCD, centre bore and bolts does a Golf 6 GTI or R use?

The PCD is 5x112, the centre bore 57.1 mm, and the wheels are held by M14 x 1.5 wheel bolts, according to koleso.ee and SCC. The tightening torque is not published: none of the sources read gives it. [1, 2, 3]

Same fixing measurements

As original equipment, these cars have the same PCD, centre bore, thread and fixing as the Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI and R: PCD 5x112, centre bore 57.1 mm, thread M14 x 1.5, fixing: wheel bolts.

Same fixing measurements; original diameters and offsets: see each car's page. Bolt seat, width and brake clearance: our design office checks them for your car before machining.

Custom forged wheels for the Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI and R

  • Forged 6061-T6 aluminium
  • 5-axis CNC machining
  • Designed to JWL/VIA standards
  • Fitment worked out for your Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI and R

Golf 6 GTI and R: 5x112, a 57.1 mm hub, M14 x 1.5 bolts

The Volkswagen Golf VI 2.0 GTI, with 155 kW and 173 kW, and the 199 kW Golf VI R, whose first Swiss vehicle type records date from March and October 2009, are 5x112 on a 57.1 mm hub, with M14 x 1.5 wheel bolts: koleso.ee and SCC give these measurements, each cited in the table. None of the sources read gives the tightening torque: we do not publish it. The Golf 7 GTI and R that succeeds them has its own page.

From 16 to 19 inches, on all four wheels

The vehicle type record of the Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA), the document that sets the tyre and wheel combinations a car may carry, permits the same wheel on all four corners for the Golf 6 GTI and R. The 155 kW GTI has 6.5J x 16 at an offset of 50, with 205/55 R16 tyres, 7J x 17 at an offset of 54 or 7.5J x 17 at an offset of 51, with 225/45 R17 tyres, and 7.5J x 18 at an offset of 51, with 225/40 R18 tyres; the 173 kW GTI adds 7.5J x 19 at the same offset of 51, with 225/35 R19 tyres. The R has 7J x 17 at an offset of 47, with 205/50 R17 tyres, and the same 7.5J x 17 and 7.5J x 18 at an offset of 51. On the GTI, the records of 2009 to September 2011 write two offsets for the 7J x 17 wheel, 51 or 54: only the later ones, which give a single offset, are cited for this line.

The load the wheel must carry

The records give the 155 kW GTI a permissible load of 1,040 kg on the front axle and 880 kg on the rear axle, i.e. 520 and 440 kg per wheel, and the R 1,090 and 970 kg, i.e. 545 and 485 kg per wheel. The tyre keeps at least the load index of the original fitment, from 88 to 94 depending on the size (reading a tyre). The braking system limits the smallest possible wheel diameter: the guide wheels and brakes explains why.

What these measurements say about a forged wheel

The offset positions the wheel in the wheel arch: a wider wheel, or a lower offset, brings it closer to the wing. The Onyx Forged design office starts from the measurements on this page, your brakes and your tyres to calculate the width and offset of your wheels, then submits them to you. The offset calculator compares two fitments: it compares, it does not choose the measurement for you.

Roadworthiness test: what is examined

The French roadworthiness test (contrôle technique) examines the wheel without removing it (cracks, deformation, a wheel that protrudes beyond the bodywork) and verifies that the tyre size is one provided for by the manufacturer or accepted as equivalent. Keeping a tyre size from the original fitment, and at least its load index, avoids having to justify it; the details are on the roadworthiness test and registration page.

What we record before machining

Configure your forged wheels for the Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI and R

The Onyx Forged design office works out the measurements of your car from its exact version, stated on the registration document, and shows them to you before machining. Each set is cut from forged 6061-T6 aluminium, machined on a 5-axis CNC centre, as monoblock, two-piece or three-piece wheels; our wheels are designed to JWL/VIA standards. Prices by diameter and the lead time are given on this page, under “What Onyx can make”. Start your configuration or write to contact@onyxforgedwheels.com.
