Passat gets new wheels

We spent this Saturday at our local tyre fitter swapping the tyres on my Golf onto the E Class Mercedes rims I brought and fitting a set of tyres to the Carlsson alloys Pureklas polished for us and trying them on the Passat.

It was touch and go when the Passat was on the jack it looked as though there was no way the Passat would drop to the floor. So after fitting front and rear wheels on the drivers side we test lowered the rear with a magazine between the wheel and the arch to try and stop any damage if it was to close. We dropped it down and with luck on our side the camber pulled the rim under the arch!

We did the same with the front and off side wheels which all tucked nicely. And the result?

See for yourself…
