    I have an awesome 2000 Passat with stock 15x7 7-spoke alloys. I am considering getting a set of VW stock 16's or 17's next time I get new tires. I assume the array of rims shown on https://www.stockwheels.com/c-8788-rims.aspx?section=-5526-5537-4604-&pagesize=24 will fit with no modification...

    The inside of the gas cap says 195/65/15 (what I have right now) but I'd like to run a wider tire. Would 205/60/15 be ok? I've done a few calculations, doesn't seem like it would make to much of a difference.
