So... I'm trading my 2013 JSW TDI in for a 2015 GSW SEL TDI. The GSW has 18 inch stock wheels the JSW has 16inch. After doing a little research the tire selection for the 18inch wheel is not very promising for a good all season tire and the ones on my JSW are still in very good condition. I still have not turned in my 2013 JSW and it has 16inch wheels. I need to know if the JSW wheels would fit the GSW. I do know that I will have to get a hold of a VCD to change those values pertaining to tire size. Also by changing the tire size will it lower the overall car height, I am trying to keep as much ground clearance as possible?
Discount Tire said that there was no difference between the 16inch and 18inch as far as the wheel goes. I went by the VW service center and they concur and said that if you install a different size wheel the cars electronics will set the new wheel size change automatically.
Hard to believe no one in the forums knew this stuff, or would give an answer.
