Rim Size

[RoadTrip]

Would thus rim size fit my 2013 TDI Passat Highline without any issues?
Tire : 215/45 R17
Rim : 7.5X17 ET45 This is what I'm not 100% on
Pcd : 5x112 mm
Cb : 57.1mm

They are an Audi rim.

Thanks

they will fit fine. they will just be more flush to the fenders. pop one on the front and go lock to lock. should be room. i put 10mm spacers on and have plenty of room.

Thanks I will see if I can try one on before I buy.
Just wondering, if I put a 10mm spacer in would that not make it come out past the fender?

on my mk6 jsw (golf 6 variant) a 10mm on front and 15mm rear brings the wheels out just a bit. its closer to the fender without having poke. i assume you have 17"? Then your factory wheel is 215/55R17 7x17 ET43 7in wide and 43mm positive offset. Audi rim is 7.5" wide with a 45mm positive offset. so it will poke 5.35mm more.
the audi tire is a 45 aspect vs your stock 55. so its smaller around.
you could go with a 225/55 17 tire on the audi rim for a beefier look.
if yo have 18" it will be inset 3mm.

So bottom line, Yes the rims will work just fine. But youll need to get the correct size tire.

Would this size be too big?
The CB I know is, but would it still fit?

Tire: 245/45 R17
Rim: 8X17 ET 47
Pcd: 5x112 mm
Cb: 66.5mm

tire is much to wide. and i dont think will fit. center bore is too large. Our rims are hub centric. with that tire it might rub the strut or well. the rim will be 11mm wider on the inside. Tire calc i use https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc this wil tell you what wheels will work https://www.fitmentindustries.com/

what sort of look are you looking for? the first rim would be the best. you just need a different tire for it. same as the second. Second wheel would be good for a stretched look.

The second one I asked about has 10 spokes & a nice tire.
The first one has 6 spokes & an ok tire.
I like the looks of the 10 spokes, & it's a big tire.

well as i said. the tire is smaller in circumference. so your speedo will not be correct and youll loose fuel economy. Not to mention higher rolling resistance because its wider. But if you want to waste fuel, its your money. i think they make hub adapters.

Thanks for your help DivineChaos, I think the first one I posted will be the best option.
Fuel is why we came back.

But remember. you will still have to put taller tires on. and stay with the narrower tire for economy. less Rolling resistance. No problem man. its just math and knowing how offsets, rim dia and conversion. A pita. lol. but bear in mind, the wider rim is heavier. So it may still affect your mileage. I dove into a fitment rabbit hole with my car. lol. Figured id delete and retune before i bag it. also fitment industries has some cheap rims. can geta new set for under 500 that look good that i could paint without feeling bad.

The rims had too much curb rash on them.
I asked before going to see them & was told no marks.
The hunt is still on.
Think I will look for stock, & be done with it.

I'd stay away from anything that would need hub centric rings to fit, I've heard some get them to work without much hassle but I've also heard the other way and juts headaches.

Just my two cents.
