Savannahs 19x9 et33 freshly resprayed

[wags]

I think these might poke a bit too much on a Passat. The rim is an inch wider (1/2" further in and 1/2" out) plus the offset has the wheel 12mm further out. The inside of the wheel will sit in the same place , however the outside will be shifted by 24-25mm... which is a lot.

I believe the only Passat that may be able to accommodate these is an Alltrack with the plastic guard extensions. But happy to be proved wrong.

Hi guys

Although it appears that it's too late for me to consider these particular wheels, I wanted to get my head around the numbers we were discussing about how much further out these would stick out compared to my stock Omanyt's.

I stuck the data into a calculator I found as below as best I could:

Wheel-Tire - RIMSnTIRES.com size comparer&sw1=235&ar1=40&bd1=18&rw1=8.0&et1=44&sw2= 235&ar2=35&bd2=19&rw2=9.0&et2=33&text1=Stock R36 18`s&text2=Savannah 19`s

and it seemed to suggest that they would stick out only 11mm more. Is this calculator missing something? I'm keen to get an understanding of what will fit going forward - any further advice would be appreciated!

Yes, the calculator is faulty.
It doesn't take into account that the wheel itself is an extra 1" wider than the stock omanyts 8" wde ET44.

A quick question for you....

I had another look at the calculator and, like you said, it doesn't seem to take into account that the wheels are an inch wider. But as far as I can interpret, this is because the tyres are wider than the wheels in both situations (235's).

Having little practical knowledge of fitting wheels, I was wondering if this rings true, or if in practise the wheel is always the outer edge of the package anyway?

I think with the 19x9's you would want to run 255/35R19 tyres or similar. 235/35's are really stretched on a 19x9. These are what Dewey is currently running.

Using the "correct" tyre size gives 21mm more poke.
