SBM SII on BBS RSs
So, a buddy of mine and I got bored this weekend and decided to throw his rebuilt RSs from his B6 Passat wagon on the 8.....

looks awesome!!!!
i thought passats were 5x120 though? |

i thought passats were 5x120 though? Close! They're actually 5x112. These centers were re-drilled from 5x114.3, and as such, are dual bolt pattern. A lot of people seem to like it, but after seeing my 8 on it's RPF1s for the better part of 4 months, the RSs looked really awkward in person...hahah. ---edit--- Forgot to mention...the Passat also runs a smaller center hub bore, so these particular wheels never would have really worked. Like I mentioned in my first post, this was purely for shits and giggles. |

i was gonna have at this a while ago, but the look was debatable. i think it works tbh maybe it would work a lil better with slightly chunkier tires. this was my pshop attempt:

-edit- Oh...and I suppose the 215/35 series tires on this particular set is what made it look so weird to me, coming from 255/40s that are always on the car...hahah. ------- It's interesting to see that people are digging it...I honestly thought it looked bizarre, and not really in the theme/style of the 8 when I was sitting there looking at the car. At the very least, now we have a real example on RSs, so we can stop referring to shoops or just plain guessing :]. |
