The wheels on my old jetta are 6J 14" (4 stud). Does the 'J' stand for the PCD of the wheel bolt holes? I.e. can I fit any other 6J 4 stud wheels to it?
Many thanks

No. J is the face that is measured thatdefines the 6 inch width. The wheel has an E numer and Type number that defines the stud spacing the centre hole and the offset. Clean and read these numbers to obtain the correct wheel. A tip here if you go to your local garage that is an agent for your vehicle and ask them if they have one. I say this as they often fit alloys on delivert and literally thorugh the steel rims away or its the scrap yard. Regards Peter

The the 6 defines the width (in inches) and the J defines the shape of the cross section of the wheel rim - the area where the tyre sits. It does not define the PCD of the bolt holes, wheel offset or anything else, so you can't assume another 6J wheel will fit. J is one of the most common sections,but there are others.
