Hey guys, owner of a B5.5 V6 Passat checking in.
Had it about 18 months so far, haven't really done much with it, but desperately need to buy new tyres so I'm thinking of taking the opportunity to just buy some 19" wheels (currently have 17" Capezio wheels). So yeah, just been searching around these forums for some information.
I'm gonna need 225/35/19 or 235/35/19, so if anyone has used that setup on a B5.5 passat, I'd love to know how the ride quality was compared to stock
Guess I'll have to lower it as well, but really don't want to spend too much. Spoke to Advantage Suspension who quoted me $550 for a 1.5" drop on new springs, but looking at DIY guides so I can save a few hundred bucks. Seems, pretty hard though, as I've never worked on a car before
Anyone done it before? Reckon it's too big of a job for a newbie?
Anyway, see ya round the forum,
Sam
