I think so, especially if you are riding on inexpensive (not KV3 or PSS9) coilovers. You will likely rattle your fillings out on anything less than pristine roads.

Noob channel is not for question asking, but I obliged you anyways. Please look to get answers in the model-specific forums, in your case the B5/5.5 garage.

I have a set of 19s, whether that will work for you really depends on the condition of your roads. Are you seriously considering the wheels in the OP? Those are $3900 for a set.

You need to rack 3 posts in noob section before you can post to other sections. This is to prevent spambots from peppering the site. You should be able to post to B5 garage with a couple more "practice" posts.

Well you will hit a small bump in the road and it will feel like a pothole 6" deep. The ride will be rough but you have to weigh that with how it looks.

My passat is a daily and I run 19s. I have had zero problems and no bacon fenders either.
