Returned my '13 PAssat TDI to stock and gave it to my special lady friend and grabbed on 07 V6 SE. I work for a wheel manufacturer so I decided to make some custom wheels. Rotiform IND Mono2 wheel with OMF beadlock (non-functional) rings 18x8. Currently in the paint booth at work. Centers will be oil rubbed bronze and rings matte black.

With beadlock ring on, test

I just did Rancho Quicklift, rear spacers, airlift 1000, 400W CREE light bar is delivering tomorrow. I don't do much or any real off-roading (aside from planned camping trips.)

I'll take some pics today of the truck. ATM just lifted white or stocks. So far (1 day) im happy with the ranchos, they seem a little more chattery over rough stuff than stock but general driving they seem smoother. I need to tweak the setting a bit on them. My roads are for the most part smooth until I get near my office and its a warzone there.

Anyone have a rancho kit / rear spring spacers and not be level? My nose is a bit taller than the rear. Slight pre-runner look.

Looking good. Can't wait to see them on the Pathy. What size tire you going with? Did you figure out the leveling issue?

wildpeak A/T 265/70/18. Never figured why its nose high. I'll probably end up doing OME springs in the rear and dump the spacer anyhow. Just gotta recoup from a downhill trip to Whistler BC.

Wheels and tires are on. Still *** heavy. Will just buy OME springs to solve whatever weird **** in going on out back making the rear lower. Even though the Falkens are much heavier, doesnt really seem to drive any different.
