1981 Volkswagen Scirocco Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco uses a 4x100 bolt pattern. The factory wheel measures 13x5.5 with a 35-millimeter offset. You can fit wheels up to 16 inches, with compatible sizes including 14x5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x5.5, 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, and 16x6.5, all in non-staggered setups.
Only the 4x100 bolt pattern will fit your Scirocco—verify this before ordering any wheel. The hub-centric bore is 57.1 millimeters; use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore exceeds this diameter. Avoid aggressive offsets or unusually wide sizes that could contact your fenders or suspension components during turning and compression.
Every wheel listed here bolts directly onto your Scirocco and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Trusted brands in stock for your fitment include Vors, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, and Enkei.
