Just for future reference and to make sure your wheel doesn’t fly off, please loosely screw the lugs in while on jacks, then lower the car off of the jacks and torque the lugs to spec. You can easily torque them incorrect when they are still in the air.
Hi, I am planning to get some new wheels for my 2016 VW Passat as well. I am looking at 19x8.5 ET 32 Konig Rennform. I did not find any passats using 32ET in the fitment industries gallery. Did you face any issues with 32 offset so far? I got a stock suspension/wheel at the moments & no mods to fenders.
When lowered they can rub depending on how low. They will fit your car with stock height and probably appear to ‘poke’ a fair bit. I had to trim my fender liners and remove a screw to prevent rubbing on my setup, but I am fairly low. Et32 is a pretty aggressive offset on these. If you aren’t going to lower, and also willing to modify liners if you do: I’d probably not get an offset that aggressive
