Hi all, Ive just joined this awesome forum.

I bought a passat B5 on Thursday just gone and think its the best car ive ever owned. Smooth and very quiet.

It came with some very tatty 15 inch alloys and ive just bought and fitted some alloys from a 2005 golf.
They look 10 times better and the handling has improved. However Im just a little worried as the front 2 tyres sit very very close to the upper arms on the suspension.

Has anyone ever had any issue with this tyre size on this model passat? Its a 1.8 B5

Just a little worried of a tyre blowing on the motorway.

Thanks guys and girls

Chris
