Post pix when u can

Ended up falling into some aftermarket 16x7.5 ET45 aftermarket rims.  A friend had VW buyback his 2012 Passat TDi.  He sold me his set of snow tires/rims for a deal.  Tire size is 225/60R16.  Profile seems about right for the van. 

Now looking at possible going 225/70R16 Nokian Rotiiva AT Plus on stock rims for summer/off road.  Originally thought 215/70R16 but considering upsizing.

Any thoughts guys?

I am either getting rid of my van or attempting to make it work better on back roads.  I am thinking of going with the 16" wine glass Audi rims as the size and offset are what I want.  I am planning on running 21570R16 tires.  My tire of choice is the Nokain Rotiiva AT Plus.  I have friends that swore by the Nokain Vatiiva tires when they were available and these look like their replacement.  Anybody have any insight on this?

My research also uncovered this:  http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/wheels/15-16-audi-wheels-5x112.htm

Towing the boat for the first time.  Just a bit of wind resistance on the freeway.  Pulled way better than the old van (93 EV MV, I5, MT)

Wow.  Just wow.

Anybody want to trade a 03 EV GLS for a Sprinter?
