VW T5 Wheel... Compatible with 2011 Renault Traffic?

[Pauljenny]

Can I use a T5 wheel as a spare?
All replies welcome.

They will fit,but the rim width is slightly different as is the offset, but not by much, so if only needing as a get you home spare then it would do, but there are plenty Renault traffic wheels for sale cheap enough on eBay.

Sorry, but need to correct you here.
A VW T5 wheel will NOT fit a Renault Traffic, the PCD is very different.

Table from info at Alloy Wheel Fitment



The new Trafic, 2014 on, has different wheel fitment

Although you might manage to get a 2011 Trafic wheel on the PCD is slightly different and the studs would need to bend a little to accommodate that. The difference is only 2mm but that’s not a good idea as something has to give and even a little damage may weaken your wheel / hub assembly.

There are other differences: The offset needs to be acceptable to avoid rubbing on either the wheel arch or suspension components. If your wheels rely on a centring ring to locate them the bore needs to be the same too.

Without the centring ring it is possible to get the wheel on slightly of centre which you will discover when you drive it as vibration. It is possible to fit a wheel with a larger bore or when a centring ring has been lost by carefully tightening the studs a little each in turn until all are taken up evenly.

Hope that is some help

Do not try to fit the wrong wheel on your vehicle even if it is only for a spare. Get the right wheel for the job and it won't fall off.
