my passat needs new wheels and moar lows Options

[mk3f.t.w.]

so its a 95 b4 passat wagon. i have owned it for over a year but just got it on the street and plan on making it my daily/ parts hauler. i eventually want to take the motor/trans out of my gti again and rebuild it. any way, back to wheels. thinking of 17s so i can look low yet have decent fitment and ground clearance. possibly oem wheels. VW, audi, bmw, whatever. would have to be decent offsets if i have to adapt...just looking for some ideas for it.

i know its a little pic and i already posed it....but meh^^^

[mk3f.t.w.]

or possibly corvette sawblades in 17?





17x8.5et56 before adapters
17x9.5et56 before adapters
33mm adapters all around
8mm spacers and longer studs in adapters on the front

[Ivan the Terribl...]

those would be soo sick!

[mk3f.t.w.]

if you see any cheap 17s let me know. all the saw blades on vortex are fully polished or powder coated and expensive. some bmw or audi wheels would be cool too. or the best would be VW though because i wont need adapters. and the car looks good with enough wheel well gap to daily and haul people and stuff

[Ivan the Terribl...]

i say saw blades! those would look soo rad on the passat

WOW! will those adapt well. and look wierd being 17/18. i may get them tomorrow...any one know the name or offset of these?

[Ivan the Terribl...]

My money is on +30 something.

Are you really gonna get em? Those are really cheap for oem wheels off a vette

i left an e-mail so i will see what he says. 18s in the rear though? if i go want to come with?

[The Professor]

They're in the 50s, I believe.

thats not bad. adapters are generally what 30mm and my schmidts are et15 and geoffs keskins are et25. but what about the rears being 18s?

[The Professor]

20 lbs, 17x8.5, 58mm offset, front;
23 lbs, 18x9.5, 65mm offset, rear;

They might look goofy being that big, but If you hate them, they look cool on MK4 Jettas. Maybe golfs, too, but I kinda doubt it.

[mk3f.t.w.]

do you have pics. i have never seen any VWs with them...

[The Professor]

These guys used 33mm front adapters, 40mm rear adapters. I'm not sure how that would sit on a passat, though.

im down to come with dude. i think itd look good if wheel gap is taken care of.

[mk3f.t.w.]

aaaahhhh. i called the guy. he said he still has but somebody is supposed to some get em. he said he will call me back. for $120 i need these!

[mk3f.t.w.]

i am now the owner of corvette wheels...

[mk3f.t.w.]

got some 8.5 saw blades. and getting 205 40 16 falken 512s. should look close to this.

et 32 from my research. if any one know other wise let me know. was thinking 22 and 15 adapters. same thing, if anyone know other wise let me know. i figured b4 wheel fitment is close to mk3s.

[dirTy_sancheZ]

sweeeeet...i think it will look real good aslong as that baby hasn't the wheel gap ... i wanna see
