Put some new 195/70/R14's on my daughters 97 Passat last night. Previously had 195/60/R14. After setting the car down after installation I examined for potential rub areas. The top of the rear tires are really close to the perch that the coils sit on-maybe a 1/2 inch on one side and 3/4 inch on the other. Does that perch remain stationary when going over bumps etc.?-in relation to the tire?
I did research the forum prior to getting the tires and the consensus was no rub issues using the 195/70R14's. Wanted to ask others what their experience has been before I drive it. The struts are Bilsteins-they are blue with a yellow oval-don't know age but aren't sagging-and bounce well.
