1989 Volkswagen Transporter Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1989 Volkswagen Transporter bolts on 5x112 wheels. The stock setup runs 14x5.5 at a 39 offset. You can upgrade to 15-inch or 16-inch sizes while staying square across all four corners. Popular options include 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x5.5, 16x6, 16x6.5, and 16x7—all compatible with your lug pattern.
The 5x112 bolt pattern is exclusive to your Transporter, so verify fitment before purchase. Your hub requires a 57.1mm center bore; use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that measurement. Aggressive offsets or wider widths risk rubbing the fender and suspension, so choose wisely within the compatible range to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we list bolts straight on and ships free to the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR all carry fitments for your Transporter in stock.
