Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Volkswagen Passat B9 is compared with the one from Volkswagen Jetta of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

    Compared with the original ≈6.5Jx16 ET47 on Volkswagen Jetta: shock absorber side +3.3 mm, wheel arch side +9.3 mm, tyre diameter +5.1 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Volkswagen Jetta (205/55R16), not that of Volkswagen Passat B9.

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Volkswagen Jetta (M12x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
