Manufacturer specification

Volkswagen up!
tyres & wheels.

July 2016 UK brochure

Selected wheel packages from the dated UK brochure. The listed trim, engine, body style and self-sealing restrictions matter. These historical examples do not establish fitment for other generations or an approved wheel conversion.

Check your exact vehicle. These are selected documented combinations, not a registration lookup or a complete fitment list. A tyre with the same size can have a different load index, speed rating, construction or manufacturer approval.
