Uggggg! Why doesn't VW stick with 5 x 100? That's what I had on my B4 but now that I am in the 5.5 I must change everything because of a 2 mm difference?! Someone please tell me that there is little to no different between 5 x 100 and 5 x 112 so I can just go ahead and use the spacers that I have. And to confirm, ball seating is used on the stock wheels?
wheel fitting question for 2003 Passat 1.8T
Hi guys,
After some reading, basically any wheels with 5X112 bolt pattern and Et35-45 offset will fit on 2003 Passats 1.8T ?
I am looking for OEM wheels from VW/Audi Family. I noticed that the 5 spoke Audi A4 from 01-08 is ET45 and some mentioned this will fit fine. Would a 10mm spacer be needed? I am a little confused.
I would like to do without spacers, and a lot of OEM wheels are ET45. Would there be any concern at all with that? I am thinking maybe wider wheels will be better. I would like to stay within 16" or 17".
Also, would i need to buy new lugs if I use any wheels between ET35-45 ?
thanks
