My 2005 B5.5 Passat Wagon

[ericemanon]

Here she is.. I picked this beautiful B5.5 Passat back in October when I traded in my 2005 Acura RSX. It had 42,XXX miles on it when I drove it off the lot and is a 1.8t.

A lot of people ask what made me get rid of the DC5 for a wagon.. Well, Kids will do that to ya.. Haha.

Here's a pic of the RSX in it's prime a couple of month before I got rid of it.


A few days after I picked up the Passat in my driveway.


I ended up getting a set of FK Streetline Coilovers for the Passat for a pretty decent price and around the same time took on the project of re-building a set of Weds Kranze ER-M's.




Got the coilovers installed and slammed it on my stockies until my wheels got out of powder coating/re-polishing the lips.


Then time for a tire install.




Final product!


Now it's just going to be bending a few more tabs in the front.. Maybe a little bit more of a pull on the front fenders for some turning clearance.

Looks good. What's next and your current tires and wheel specs?

Im my common fashion, Im already looking for a new wheel set-up. Hah.

The current set-up is 18x8.5/18x9.5 with a 215/40/18 tire.

Offsets are adjusted to +23 in the front and +21 in the rear. (Thanks Adaptec spacers!)

Just a quick shot I snapped on the way home from a car show at a local college.

Somehow I think the rims color doesn't really match the body color.. But it's your car.

p.s. you need some custom headlights and tail lights to look really awesome

I actually parted ways with this beast in October. Onto a new project and baby number two.
