        I personally have not seen many nicely fitted passats. That would make it not so average in my case.

          I would say "a bit average" in the Australian context of the phrase. Looks pretty good, but not earth shattering. Same for fitment. Front could be spaced a tad.

            Agreed. Most Passats I see are stock.

                +1. Front def. needs a spacer.

                        And i agree that the front need spaced however on im on adapter spacers at the moment and a new set tends to be a little salty

                              By the way, This was very wrong:

                              65mm rear and 56mm fronts
                              25.4mm spacer/adapters front = 31mm front
                              33mm rear spacer/adapters rear = 32mm rear

                              New setup will be 20mm front 18x8
                              32mm rear 18x9.5
                              **stretched accordingly
