1987 Volkswagen Transporter Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1987 Volkswagen Transporter bolts on 5x112, the same pattern across all trims. Your stock wheel is 14x5.5 with a 39-millimeter offset. You can step up through 14x6, then into 15-inch fitments like 15x6, 15x6.5, or 15x7, and push into 16-inch options including 16x5.5, 16x6, 16x6.5, or 16x7. The application runs square, so front and rear specs match.
Pay close attention: only the 5x112 bolt pattern will fit your Transporter's hubs. The center bore is 57.1 millimeters, so if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to center it properly. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within the compatible range listed above.
Every wheel we stock for your Transporter is verified to bolt on safely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, and Rotiform 1PC all have fitments ready to ship.
