1983 Volkswagen Vanagon Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1983 Volkswagen Vanagon, whether it's a Campmobile, GL, or L model, uses a 5x112 bolt pattern that accepts wheels from fourteen to fifteen inches. The stock setup measures 14x5.5 with a 39mm offset. You can fit wider 14-inch options at 14x6, or step up to 15-inch diameter wheels at 15x6, all without staggered fitment requirements.
Keep in mind that only the 5x112 bolt pattern will work on your Vanagon. The center bore sits at 57.1mm, so if your wheel's bore exceeds that measurement, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Avoid extremely wide or deeply recessed offsets that could cause rubbing against the fender or suspension components.
Every wheel we list here bolts straight onto your Vanagon and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR—all verified to fit your Vanagon perfectly.
