    Lifted MKV Golf

    the wheels are the stock 15 inch steel wheels that came on the car from the factory. I am not running the hubcaps. the bolt pattern is 5X114. if that is the same as the wagon then they might fit. but I'm not sure.

    Lifted MKV Golf

    I had the tires installed this afternoon and drove it from Las Vegas to LA. It rides very smooth. I would say it rides smoother than my wife's stock Passat wagon. I will post pictures tomorrow.
