No, wheels designed for a VW Transporter T6.1 will not fit a VW T7 Multivan due to differences in their bolt patterns and potentially other specifications like wheel width and offset. The T7 Multivan uses a different platform than the T6.1, and while some aftermarket wheels are advertised as fitting both T5, T6.1, and even T7 models, this is often inaccurate and can lead to issues.
Key Differences:
- Bolt Pattern:
The T6.1 typically uses a 5x120 bolt pattern for its wheels, while the T7 Multivan has a different bolt pattern, reportedly a 5x112, according to a user on the VW T6 Transporter Forum.
- Platform:
The T7 Multivan is built on a different platform, and it's a passenger vehicle with a different setup compared to the T6.1 Transporter, which is a more commercial-focused van.
- Wheel Specifications:
Even if a wheel looks like it might fit, it's crucial to ensure the load rating, offset, and width are compatible with the T7 Multivan's specific requirements, which can differ significantly from the T6.1.
