Passat - Wheel/Suspension question

[Ashley27]

Hi all

Just picked up a 2003 4motion. I want to buy the wheels in the picture below... Does anybody know what sort of a setup I need to get it to sit like this one does? I'm wanting 19's but need to keep a reasonably comfortable ride. Or should I just go with replacing the standard springs?

the nominal wheel offset is ET 37 and 7" wide was pretty much standard on those.

You need a similar offset (35mm will be pretty common) but look closely at tyre size, maost aftermarket rims will be 8"' wide - on a b5.5 passat normally you will run a 235 width tyre.

Look at the lowering after you get to that stage & make sure you have the clearance!
