    Cool 20"s on a Passat?

    alright i know ill probally get shot down for this but here goes,

    im looking at getting new rims for my passat and have fallen in love with these


    they come in 5x112 and everything but im just wondering, will they fit?
    I've tried searching the forum but it doesnt look like anyone has done it yet.

    I kinda realise also that the ride will be rubbish and everything, but not too worried about that

    Half of the time spent on washing your car will just be cleaning those wheels.

    cool looking wheels, HOWEVER you'll need a freakin SLAMMMED ride height to pull them off though. I'm talking tucking rim.

    otherwise you'll have a 4wd Passat... OH so hot!

    I can't seem to find the offset but the width is 8.5.
    The model is a 2007 B6 Passat wagon

    oh and golfman dont worry, always planning on slamming

    20 x 8.5 sounds okay if the offset will allow it.
    You really do need to find out the offset though as this is the limiting factor.

    I would use the offset calculator once you know it to determine how much extra space your wheels will take up.
    This will allow you to measure the distance in the wheel arch and determine if they will fit or not.


    Alternatively, just look for other passat's with 20" wheels and see what offsets they are running without issue.
    If yours matches, then go for it.

    You will need to email /phone (better to phone) tempe and find out what offsets they offer for the 5x112 bolt pattern wheel then if you want to get them and make sure they fit.
