multifit wheels

[jamescat]

Hi folks, can someone enlighten me as to how the multifit system works, I took my alloy off yesterday but can't get my steel wheel to fit, do I have yo remove the alloy spacer or what ?????
thanks, jim

Never used "multifit" before, but I assume the wheel is not the same PCD as your car so an adaptor is fitted. If this is the case then this "spacer" probably needs removing as the PCD is different from your VW.

Hi and thanks for your response, like you i don't really know what multifit wheels are but I assume you are right i'll give it a try when it stops raining, cheers Jim

Multi-fit wheels are quite simple..... most commonly for 4 or 5 stud vehicles....

eg, a 5 stud vehicle pcd 5 x 100.....

The multi fit wheel will have 10 holes in it.... 5 x100 and maybe 5 x 112 (or something similar)...

It just means the wheels will fit most types of car with 5 studs....

Hope that makes sense?

Thanks Bora(ing) I suspect i've not got multifit wheelsas only five stud holes it seems the spacer is probably for the alloys which are fitted - vw 15 " Highline model, thanks again, Jim
