Re: Audi 19’s

Yeah. Especially looking at the results from Will they fit. Maybe they’re replicas. I might start looking at replica options to get more choice and fitting options.

Audi 19’s

Mines a sport and has bilstein b4’s and eibach pro springs so about 20mm lower than standard.

I think you’re both right. The negative offset is too great. 43-44 is probably as much as I should go.

Audi 19’s

More Audi wheels. These are genuine but my question is the offset being ET32. Is this too close to the arch to chance? I don’t want rubbing. I also don’t have any information on how they ran in the B6 pictured below. They’re a being sold as follows; 255/40/19 8.5j et32 Checked the fitting here; http...

Re: Audi 19’s

Thanks. Thinking they are reps. I'll ask the seller to check elsewhere if he can. The question has been asked before elsewhere on an Audi forum...here is one of the answers. "Re: How do I know if my alloy wheels are fake or not? Genuine OEM Audi wheels have distinctive part numbers cast into t...

Any ideas if these are genuine? They are Audi R8 wheels. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200609/503246e5f549b19f726756ed59087bed.png Have asked for the offset and a photo of the stamp as this is usually on the rear in most cases? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200609/569fe2081e22e6b86924db8d5...

Re: 2007 B6 Passat Sport Suspension Upgrade

Yeah ok thanks. It’s 4mm with the Vancouvers so has to still be well clear you’d think.
I’ll look in to spacers and bolts though.

Ah I see. Is it essential that 4-5mm is accounted for?

Re: Who’s got a B6 sport with B4’s, Eibach Pro Kit and 19” wheels?

They are. Currently it’s on Monte Carlos 5x112 7.5Jx17 ET47. Vancouvers are 5x112 7.5Jx18 ET51 I’m not that clued up on wheels, but think I understand the difference is a +4mm offset compared so the wheel will intrude 4mm further in to the arch. That’s a tiny amount so thinking they’d be fine? Sent ...

2007 B6 Passat Sport Suspension Upgrade

Thanks, I love the colour too. I’d never noticed it before until I bought the car. Nice choice of wheel. Always thought they look god on a B6. 19’s in them do look gooood though Eibach pros on a sport give you nice options for wheels. I’m liking the slight difference in ride height and how it looks ...

Re: Another rattle

I have this. Definitely glove box related as when pushed and held closed doesn’t do it. It’s a rattling creaking plastic sound that’s goes on and on when driving. On a blazing spell of weather it all stops as I assume the plastic and materials expand. Most other times it’s always there. I thought it...

Who’s got a B6 sport with B4’s, Eibach Pro Kit and 19” wheels?

Yeah they look damn good on a B6. Better than on an Audi [emoji6]. My favourite actually.

Ah ok I get it. Thanks for the advice. I hope the set up I have will work with 19 inch segments.

Sportline’s give a greater drop than Pro’s?

Who’s got a B6 sport with B4’s, Eibach Pro Kit and 19” wheels?

If you have/had this set up I’d love to see some pics and get some first hand knowledge on what it’s like in terms of fitment; wheel size/tyre size and any issues? I’ve heard it’s problematic from some and has been no problem for others. I’ve just fitted B4s and the Eibach Pro kit on my B6 sport and...

EPB electronic parking brake noise when activated

I’ve been trying to think of something the sound is like. No mine doesn’t do it on release and both manual button press release or auto release by driving off are fine. Also mine will only do it if I haven’t applied it for a while. Say after a 40 minute journey to work. However If were to use the ca...

EPB electronic parking brake noise when activated

Hello all. This is probably in the forum somewhere but I’ve searched and can’t find anything specific to it. For quite a while now my EPB makes this strained motor sound when activated. Apart from that it’s working ok. I had a previous B6 that this didn’t happen in and that ones EPB did fail. Any id...

Re: 2007 B6 Passat Sport Suspension Upgrade

Well here is a basket for the Bilstein B6 shocks and Eibach Pro Kit set up. With the Lemforder top strut mounts. I think this is a better option for me. I imagine less firm than the B12 for a bit of comfort but still get the 10-15mm drop which I'm ok with [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201809...
