    Hi all, I am a newbie to this forum so I apologize if this is a simple question.

    I am looking to buy aftermarket wheels for my gen III 2010 prius, I really like the VW GTI stock wheels. Does anyone know if these will fit on my prius? Thanks in advance

    Wheel Specs for VW rim:
    18 x 7.5, 5 Lugs

    There is a couple of great threads on after market wheels.

    I crossed reference a steel wheel for the Prius that also fit some VWs, so the rims just might work.

    Welcome aboard!

    thanks for the reply, I have read that post and it seems like the wheels will fit, they are 5 lug and others had 18X 7.5 on their cars, i am just not sure about the offset or exactly what that means

    The big one is the bolt pattern and the Prius is 5(bolts) x 100(mm). Next is the offset. You can vary that a bit... it just means how far the rims will "stick out" of the wells or more specifically
    Rim width with factor into this. Ideally you want the wheel to remain inside the well or at the most flush with.

    I think the Golf GTI wheel is a 5x112 pattern.
