Every wheel we offer for your Jetta is verified to bolt on perfectly, backed by our free shipping throughout the lower 48 states. Shop premium brands like Work Wheels, Enkei, Motegi Racing, and Heritage Wheel, along with several other quality manufacturers ready to transform your classic VW's appearance.
1987 Volkswagen Jetta Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1987 Volkswagen Jetta, whether Base, GL, GLI, or Wolfsburg Edition, uses a 4x100 bolt pattern. The stock wheel is 13x5.5 with a 35mm offset. You can step up to 13x6, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, or 15x7—all bolt straight on without modification or staggered setup required.
Since only 4x100 bolts fit this Jetta, verify your wheel choice matches that pattern before ordering. The hub-centric bore is 57.1mm, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore exceeds that measurement. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels risk rubbing the fender and suspension, so stay within the compatible sizes listed to avoid costly contact issues.
Every wheel we stock for your '87 Jetta is pre-verified to bolt on safely, and all orders ship free to the lower 48 states. Check out our in-stock inventory from Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, and others to find the right fitment and style for your classic VW.
