1988 Volkswagen Fox Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1988 Volkswagen Fox uses a 4x100 bolt pattern and comes stock with 13x5 wheels at a 35-millimeter offset. You can fit 13x5, 13x5.5, 14x5.5, and 14x6 sizes, all in non-staggered square setups. These plus-size options let you upgrade your look while maintaining compatibility with your Fox's suspension and brake geometry.
Only wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern will fit this vehicle—no exceptions. The center bore measures 57.1 millimeters, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore is larger. Going wider or running aggressive offsets risks contact with fenders and suspension components, so stick to the compatible sizes listed to stay safe and functional.
Every wheel we offer for your Fox is verified to bolt on correctly and ships free to the lower 48 states. We stock Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift—all ready to ship.
