Replying to: bluemeany (Aug 24, 2007 6:59 pm) perhaps its the tire size? the 16's that come as an option on the rabbit are only 205/55 r16's: to get a 225width, you'd need at least 17 inch vw rims with a 45mm sidewall. 16 inch rims for one car may not work on another. this is totally the dealers fault.

Replying to: eldaino (Aug 27, 2007 7:43 am) Actually what they gave was 215/55R16's .....I miss typed on my original thread. I talked to the sales manager this morning and explained what is going on and what I expect. He said he will look into and call me right back....so far no word.
