I only drive the passat at night or weekends, when gf isnt steadily racking the miles up. I put around anyway, im not much of a throttle jockey, so a slow truck isnt a big deal. It will be used come summer for some mountain treks/camping trips so i'll check out all my tire options before buying.
Lucky you. Unfortunately I have speed racer genes so I'm always fighting the urge. My other car is an Audi 01 S4 and it's a daily fight to not drive too fast with that one.
I'm not one who cares much for seat covers either, but these from Cabela's are a good value and look decent, too.

This truck wheel game is confusing. never dealt with offset and backspacing. So excuse me if this is beat to death
16x8 w/ 285/75/16, 6 x 5.50 in. Bolt Pattern, 4.00 in. Backspace -12offset
or
15x8 31.10.5r15, 6 x 5.50 in. Bolt Pattern, 3.75 in backspace, -19offset
Any suggestions? The sizes above are very similar overall.
Nicely done! Yours I assume? California car too. Do I spy coastal farmland?
I'm at work and don't have any pics of mine to post up right now. It's not modded much. Stock ride height with a full set of late model Audi A4 rims (1" larger than stock) and tinted glass.
As for lowering it, not gonna happen right now. Too many other expensive hobbies currently LOL.
For your wheel question, are you buying new wheels and tires? If so, most shops will allow you to test fit them. I know America's Tire does. I love when they don't believe a 33 will fit w/out any modifications to a gen II.
As for buying a 15 or 16" rim? These days I'd hazard to guess that there are now an equal or greater number of 16" tires available so that would be my suggestion & I used to buy only 15" tires for the same reason but times change.
