    So I just bought some wheels and I had looked at a bunch of pictures on fitment industries to decide what wheel size I wanted to go with. I got some 18x8.5 +35 offset and i have 225/40/18s tires to go with it. When I lined them up and they poked a good amount, like more than it seemed in the...

    For my B5 Wagon I have a set of 17x8 et30 and was wondering if anybody is running the same setup. I will probably go with 215/40's. I know I will be poking about an inch past stock, but I'm wondering what peoples experience with them were for those who have run them. Did you have any rubbing...

So im looking for...

    Hi guys, Its been time since I installed Bilstein B14PSS (coilovers) on my V6 3BG Passat. Now i've been looking for rims; the chosen are the BBS LM 18" ones. Has anyone used this configuration? photos with'em? What was the ride quality? too much tire fitment? What about this option with the...

    Greetings everyone, Do any of you know if the downstream O2 Sensor Bank 1 will fit downstream Bank 2? There are 2 different numbers BOSCH*13550*(right) and BOSCH*13552 (left). I called Bosch and spoke with someone who told me one should work for both Banks, but the length may not be the same...

    So I'm looking at buying these wheels but concerned about fitment. Just wondering what needs to be done to make them fit or if they will fit as it. They are 17x8 ET30. The car isn't lowered yet, I want to get the wheels before i lower it so i don't run into issues after spending that much for...

    So I’m looking at swapping the stock 90amp alternator on my car for a 120 amo which I know is a direct fit. I just found out that there is a 150 amp alternator. Does anyone know if the 150 is a direct fit aswell. My reason for changing the alternator out is with my audio setup, the voltage is...

    HI, After searching for B6 A4 and B5.5 passat FMIC compatibility I couldn't find much.. So, long story short, looking for cheap yet decent ebay FMIC for B5.5 Passat 1.8T 5Spd. Best option I could find for the money was this kit for an B6 A4 (looks like it has the MAP sensor sensor and extra...

    If I understand correctly, the B5 has an et45 and the B5.5 a et37? I am about to purchase a used set of A8L 19" twelve spokes for my B5.5. To recap, they are OEM 19x8.5 et45 and will go with 235/35/19 on them. I have read where others with a B5 said that they didn't have any rubbing issues...

    Does anyone out there have the JHM short shifter on a B5.5? They very particularly do NOT have the B5.5 listed on the fitment for the shifter on their site and I think I may have learned why. They only advertise an "early" (pushdown reverse) and "late" (no pushdown reverse) style up to 2001...

    I am looking at getting some new wheels and tires for my 07' B6 Passat and wanted to get some reccomendations from you all. I'd like to stay under $1K in price including the rubber to put on it (either Bridgestone Potenza's or BF Goodrich Sport Comps I think). I want better fitment but I am also...

    Here goes. We have an 05 Passat GLS wagon, fwd auto and stock suspension. It needs new tires, and my dad gave me a set of 17x8 Mille Miglia wheels that I think will look really nice on it. They originally went on his BMW, so we need to order adapters to get the bolt pattern to line up. I've...

    Will a 98-01 grill fit a B5.5? I'm thinking no, but just wanted to confirm.
