Jayzheng Clutched September 2, 2018 Share September 2, 2018 Hi Guys, This is the fate of my back seat now just about a month. It is the rear right seat (less utilized), never done anything to it. The other seats are normal. Sighs … Warranty covers this ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smsvince Neutral Newbie September 8, 2018 Share September 8, 2018 Hey guys just got my Passat 2 months ago and absolutely loving the ride. Just got 2 qn: Changed to 19s and love the look but thinking of increasing the tire profile anyone here explored beyond manufacturer recommended 235/40/19? I have this gripe on the plastic pieces that are sharp just around the back of the steering wheel buttons anyone highlighted this to VW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this gripe on the plastic pieces that are sharp just around the back of the steering wheel buttons anyone highlighted this to VW? Did contemplated on going bigger but gradually got used to the look and unsure how much it would compromise on comfort, so got stuck with my default 17s. I do recall feeling any sharp edges anywhere on the steering wheel. Maybe go check out later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm looking at 235/45/19Just wondering, my current is 235/35/19, and stock is 215/55/17. Rightfully 235/45/19 total Tyre diameter is still within stock Tyre dimensions. But not sure whether the width will cause rubbing against the hub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Hypersonic September 9, 2018 Share September 9, 2018 many attribute rubbing of fenders to fatter tyres. No. It is indeed the offset of rims that is the main cause of fenders rubbing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
