Hello!

Would like to see more pics of Passat´s with 20 inch wheels...

To be honest i don´t feel any difference compared to stock 18 inch...

No they aren't common.
Mostly becauee anything above 19" is made for bling scene kids in their imported riceline/silvia/wrx or their falcadore.

If you want anything that looks decent in 20" you have to get it from overseas and/or pay quite an amount for it plus fitting htme with equivalet sized tyres puses the price up even more.

With the quality of the roads around Australia i wasn't willing to go anything over 19" for my Tiguan.
That still leaves a 45 profile sidewall but i can feel the bumps in the road and the passengers who normally drive on stock wheel sized cars niotice them even more.

It appears to be more common in ur part of the world. I happen to be in Sweden for 2 days and its pretty common to see more expensive cars customised with over sized wheels.

Love the cars in Europe btw they're so... umm European

I think it looks great
I only went as large as 19's
I picked something easy to clean brake dust off as well

Will be rocking BBS CK 20's in a few weeks - will post up pic then

Ck's look dope as, when they are rolling they blur really well.
Can't wait to see that.

Only better would be some LM's.

Nice! The brakes stand out a lot more.

Did u sell your stock 18s?

If so, how much do they go for?

i run 19s on my r36 however i did have 20s and the tyres did not meet the lad rating. what is everyone doing for load ratings on 20inch wheels.....maybe the OP can shed some light on what he is running

So 111 what's you take on load ratings for the Passat?
All the 235/35r19 tyres I've been looking at are rated '91' and the sticker on the fuel lid ranges from '91' to '95' depending on the rim size (although there is no mention of 19" wheels on the sticker). Would it be safe/legal to run tyres rated 91's on a wagon?

[111]

91 as far as i have been advised is the lowest you can run on the wagon, anything lower is risky if you have an accident....

if there is a tyre that can run 20inch and is 91 plus ill run it in the meantime all of the wheels i have for my car are 19 or 18

Thanks 111. I feel better now seeing as I've finally ordered my 19's and H&R coilovers.
The Sumitomo tyres I ordered are load rated 91.
I'll share pics when it's all together in about 3 weeks
