1986 Volkswagen Cabriolet Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1986 Volkswagen Cabriolet comes stock with a 13x5 wheel at 35 millimeters offset on a 4x100 bolt pattern. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths across several compatible sizes, including 13x5.5, 13x6, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, and 15x6.5, all on the same bolt pattern with square fitment—no staggered setup needed here.
The 4x100 bolt pattern is exclusive to this car, so verify any wheel you choose carries that specification. Your center bore measures 57.1 millimeters; if a wheel's bore exceeds that size, fit a hub-centric ring to ensure proper centering. Pushing too wide or running an aggressive offset risks contact with fender lips and suspension components, so stay within the listed compatible sizes to avoid clearance issues.
All wheels you find here are confirmed to bolt straight on and ship free across the lower 48 states. Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift all stock fitments for your Cabriolet right now.
