Volkswagen CC Wheels and Rims

Volkswagen CC Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Volkswagen CC is the four-door coupe VW built from the 2009 through the 2017 model year, originally marketed as the Passat CC at launch (2009-2011) and renamed simply CC from 2012 onward. The platform is the same B6/B7 Passat architecture underneath, with a lower roofline, frameless doors, and tighter rear seating that made it VW's design-forward sedan during its run. Element Wheels measures the CC as a single closed-range generation. Every CC uses 5x112 with a 57.1mm hub bore and M14x1.5 lug bolts. The bolt pattern is shared with the rest of the modern VW passenger lineup (Jetta, Golf, GTI, Passat, Tiguan, Atlas on the same hub bore) and the smaller Audi cars (A3). The CC was discontinued after the 2017 model year and replaced in the lineup by the Arteon. Pick the CC tile below to see the wheels and rims that fit your specific car.

Find Your Volkswagen CC Generation

The CC ran a single generation in North America (2009-2017). Pick the tile below to see wheels and rims that fit. Bolt pattern is 5x112 with a 57.1mm hub bore and M14x1.5 lug bolts. The CC shared the Passat B6 chassis at launch and moved to the B7-revision underpinnings during the facelift in the middle of its production run, with no change to the wheel-mounting hardware. R-Line trim and the rare 4Motion Executive trim do not change the bolt pattern or hub spec.

The Volkswagen CC Bolt Pattern

Every CC uses 5x112 with a 57.1mm hub bore and M14x1.5 lug bolts. The spec stayed constant across the 2009 through 2017 production run, including both the pre-facelift Passat CC (2009-2011) and the post-facelift CC (2012-2017). VW runs lug bolts on the CC, not lug studs and nuts the way most American and Asian sedans do. The lug bolt threads directly into the hub, the wheel sits between the head of the bolt and the hub face, and there is no fixed lug stud to align the wheel before tightening. This makes a hub-centric fit more important on the CC than on a stud-and-nut sedan. The 57.1mm hub bore is the smaller VW Group passenger-car spec.

The 5x112 / 57.1mm spec on the CC matches the rest of the modern Volkswagen passenger lineup (Jetta Mk5 and up, Golf Mk5 and up, GTI, Tiguan, Atlas, every modern Passat from the B5 through the B8) and the smaller Audi cars (A3). The CC was effectively a Passat with a coupe roofline, so wheels that fit a same-era Passat usually transfer cleanly to the CC, with the fender opening on the CC tuned slightly tighter because of the lower body. The 5x112 pattern is also shared more broadly with the full-size MLB Evo luxury SUVs (Audi Q7 4M, Q8, Porsche Cayenne 3rd gen, VW Touareg 3rd gen, Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus) but those vehicles run a larger 66.56mm or 71.5mm hub bore that is too big to sit hub-centric on the CC without rings, and the offsets are sized for SUV fenders.

Why Body Style and Trim Determine CC Fit

The CC is the only modern VW that sold as a four-door coupe with frameless doors and a lowered roofline on the Passat platform. The lower body and the more aggressive fender opening sit the wheel face closer to the fender lip than a same-era Passat sedan, which affects how much offset window we can publish without poking past the fender. The bolt pattern, hub bore, and lug bolt are constant across the production run. Engine options ranged from the 2.0T four-cylinder up to the 3.6L VR6, and a small number of US-market CCs left the factory with 4Motion all wheel drive (the 4Motion Executive trim). Both FWD and 4Motion CCs run the same wheel hub spec and accept the same aftermarket wheel sizes.

Trim level (Sport, Luxury, R-Line, Executive) does not change the wheel bolt pattern or hub bore. The R-Line is a styling and appearance package on the same chassis as the matching Sport or Luxury trim. Drivetrain on the vast majority of CCs sold in North America is front wheel drive. The optional 4Motion all wheel drive does not change the wheel hub spec. Square (non-staggered) is the factory and recommended configuration on every CC.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.

How We Confirm Fitment on Volkswagen CC Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including the Volkswagen CC. For the CC that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height across the 2.0T and 3.6L VR6 brake packages, hub bore confirmation at 57.1mm, and lug bolt seat depth for M14x1.5 bolts. The CC is measured as its own catalog row even though it shares architecture with the B6 and B7 Passat, because the lower body and tighter fender opening on the four-door coupe change the offset window enough to matter. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.
