What Wheel Size and Offset on Coilovers B6?

Post by Dicky-Art »

Not sure about any differences in the B6 4motion DSG V6 malarky and others. Wheels on mine (the B6 4m DSG 3.2) at the moment are 7.5Jx17 et50 front and back with 235/45 winter tyres.

Need to lower the Passat and get new alloys, but the question is what set up? It rides very smoothly and I don't want to be rattling my teeth. Although I soon got used to the boxter on K&W Clubsport lowered 2" with stiffer arb.

I want to use coilovers but not anywhere the price of the K&W. (for another thread me thinks). I've been looking at 18x8 et44 and looked through various setups using https://www.willtheyfit.com/

It looks like a standard combo but this is like using 12.5mm spacers on 7.5J. What can I get away with?

So peeps, not wanting to mow the lawn with it, just 30-50mm drop ish! Not sure, what do you recon?
