The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 8.5 inches wide with a +45 offset, in the 5x112 bolt pattern the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen uses.

A +45 offset on a 8.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a conservative, factory-like position. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.
