The original factory wheels of the new Jetta are 15 inches in size, with a width of 6j, a bolt pattern of 5*100, a center bore of 57, and an offset of 40. Jetta bolt pattern: The original factory wheels of the new Jetta are 15 inches in size, with a width of 6j, a bolt pattern of 5*100, a center bore of 57, and an offset of 40. Jetta wheel diameter: Generally, most bolt patterns have either 5 or 4 bolts, and the distance between the bolts varies. Examples include 4X103, 5X114.3, and 5X112. Taking 5X114.3 as an example, it means the PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) of this wheel is 114.3mm, with 5 bolt holes. For 4-bolt wheels, you can directly measure the distance between two diagonal bolts using a standard ruler. For 5-bolt wheels, measure the distance between the two closest bolts, and the bolt pattern = measured value divided by 0.58775.
I remember the bolt pattern of the new Jetta is 5×112, meaning the five bolt holes are arranged on a circle with a diameter of 112mm. I often help friends with car issues, and this parameter is crucial. If the bolt pattern doesn't match, the wheels won't fit securely and may wobble while driving, or even detach, causing accidents. I recommend measuring this dimension before changing wheels to ensure it matches the original car. The center bore of the new Jetta's wheels is about 57.1mm, which, along with the bolt pattern, helps in proper fitting. Last time, I saw someone altering the bolt pattern incorrectly, resulting in misaligned wheels and rapid tire wear, wasting money. Maintaining the correct parameters ensures safe and smooth driving. Regularly checking the wheels is beneficial to avoid breakdowns and unnecessary trouble on the road.
