Hey, so im planning to buy new rims for my passat b5.5 2002 stock suspension. So i found rims R17 ET40 8J. I need to know if they will fit and look. Is spacers option here? And second about tyres - 215 or better 225 with 45 width. Thanks
225/45/17 is the OEM size in 17" for the B5.5. Same overall diameter as the 15" and 16" stock sizes. ET30-35 would be better. Make sure you get ones with a 57.1mm center bore or centering rings in that dimension.
Use this calculator to determine the effect of changing your wheel width and offset. First enter your current wheel width and offset. Then enter your new wheel width and offset. Next click the calculate button. It will show the clearance between the inside of the wheel and the strut housing...
