17" rims. Originally intended for use on my other car but not sure now. There's some bits of corrosion on them but not too bad at all really. Wonder if they'll be ok on the van? They're made in Germany but not VW (well, there's no VW stamp on them anyway).

PCD?
Offset?

Needs to be 5x112 and between 30-39 I think, should be stamped on the wheel somewhere.

If it's over your looking at spacers and if it's under forget it.

Thanks Shepster. I'll have a look.

They'd look better on my van Keith!

PCD is 5x100 near as damn it. Offset looks like 55 (does that sound correct?)
Oh well, not going on the van then! Back to plan A (the golf):roll:
Be a bit of work to do on them Stu. I reckon they are off an earlier Passat. Anyone want to buy a set of alloys

I've got a Passatt to add to those wheels when you sell them!!

You could fit some 25mm 100 to 112 adapters and that would sort it and bring the offset down to 30.

Do passats weigh in at 2 tonnes?

Hence my asking for advice in first post and Tech section.

Is it worth the expence?

Sell 'em and get some with the correct PCD, adaptors are probably about £150 alone.

Think you're right Shepster. Thanks for advice everyone. It wasn't the original idea to fit them to the van anyway, just an afterthought.

If they're from a Passat then they're 5X112.

The part number...behind the centre cap... will give all the correct info rather than any guess work.

didn't think to look there Steve Thanks for that.
The digits are 66-M15 LT2 and 1J0 601 149N AND they have the VW logo on them. Does that make any sense? Quick Googling of the part number says they are centre caps for 16" wheels. Jetta, Bora and Golf. No mention of Passat!!!

I meant the part number on the wheel itself behind the centre cap....like below.


Anyway...they are not 17" or from a Passat either....and definitely not suitable to be used on a T25....even with adaptors!

They are infact VW MK4 Golf/Bora/New Beetle Ronal 'Brands Hatch' alloys.
Part number: 1J0601025AE
5X100PCD
6.5"X16"
ET42
57mm centre bore.

Well that's pretty conclusive
Always admire your wealth of information Steve, is this freely available or do you have to know where to find it?
