Hi,
After I lower my Passat b4 (35i) with a kit who lowers 40mm and with 205 tyers I have some issues with my original wheel arches (front)
The tyers have made some damage to them - and the more I think about my problem, the more I see I need to fit wide arches on it.
So my question is, is the only option to buy some universal or can I use wide arches from to an example Mk2 VW Golf or another car?

205s are massive tyres for one of these- itll honestly drive a hell of a lot better on something in the 175-195 region. ive driven various ones ive had very hard on both 175/50 and 195/45, with no loss of traction, in fact they turn in better on slightly narrower tyres. remember the stock tyres for one of these is a 165/70R14!

Have you rolled the arches? A gentle compassionate kiss with a piece of pipe of suitable girth showed between the tyre and arch should take care of it  |

Hi guys and thx for the replys! This is how my front wheel arches looks right now. Left:  Right:  Due to one of the arches is looking bad due to rust I where also thinking that to fit a unversal wide arch could help... This is rear left:  To explain, currently we have winter in Norway so the rims on it is the snow-tyers |
