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 found a good deal on a set of 1 inch adapters that are designed to fit BMW wheels on a VW, so they have a 57.1mm inner center bore and a 72.5mm outer center bore. We measured and the Mille Miglia wheels have the same offset as was stock on the VW, so there will be an overall positive offset of 1 inch with the setup. Planning on going with the stock tire size of 225/45.
Before I start ordering things, I want to know...will all of this fit without clearance/rubbing issues and look good? I know people have run some pretty aggressive setups but just wanted to make sure!
