2.1
Legislative conditions for converting
wheel and tyre combinations
The manufacturer is issued with a general operating permit (GTA
in accordance with § 20 StVZO (German road traffic and licensing
regulations) and EU operating permit) for the overall vehicle with
all parts for specific conversions.
Conversions of wheels and tyres can only be carried out under
certain conditions. When doing this, the following points must be
observed:
♦ If the size of wheel and tyre, with an indication of the load index
and the speed symbol, is included in the vehicle GTA and EU
operating permit/type approval ⇒ page 6 , this wheel and
tyre combination can be fitted on the vehicle without any prob‐
lem.
It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified
in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved in the vehicle GTA or EU oper‐
ating permit/type approval ⇒ page 6 may be fitted to the
vehicle.
♦ There is no general type approval according to § 22 StVZO for
the modifications recommended by Volkswagen AG (see at‐
tachment or Appendix 2 to Parts Certificate).
♦ Unless the wheels and/or tyres are included in the relevant
vehicle GTA or EU operating permit/type approval, the vehicle
will no longer meet the requirements of the road traffic regu‐
lations if converted.

These versions are based on the conditions valid in the European
Union and no guarantee can be provided for their completeness.
In some cases there are different legislative requirements outside
the European Union.
The table included in the attachment or Appendix 2 to Parts Cer‐
tificate shows the Volkswagen AG recommended and TÜV
NORD Mobilität GmbH Co. KG tested wheel and tyre combina‐
tions on VW vehicles and also the conditions to be observed for
fitting. The use of genuine disc-type wheels on a vehicle to which
they have not been allocated is not permissible.
The list of possible conversions deals with combinations that meet
the requirements of Volkswagen AG with regards to road handling
and road safety. They are the result of practical trials and are
therefore recommended by Volkswagen AG.
Refer also to the new vehicle registration documents that were
issued from 01.10.2005 ⇒ page 5 .
