Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Volkswagen Passat B8 Estate 2.0TFSI 280hp drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
After 3 years the sidewalls are completely cracked to the point questioning the safety of this product. Bridgestone support Czechia was provided with photos and manufacture date and didnt even bother to respond. Never more Bridgestone.
Initial dry grip was fantastic. Very grippy with quick pointy turn-in. As they've worn the dry grip has suffered a moderate loss. They don't allow as much load when turning fast and tight as they used to.
Wet grip amazingly hasn't seemed to have deteriorated at all. Has always had more grip than was expected. Especially later in the wear cycle.
The wear has been better than expected. 19,000mi and still a decent amount of tread left. I was expectiong them to require replacement at approximately the 13,000mi range.
Comfort levels have remained at a high level. Tyre noise has gone up slightly as the tyres have aged but less than expected also.

good tyres BUT the quality control is BAD.
My 2 out of 4 tyres have a vertical disbalance , meaning the thread is wobbling up and down a tiny bit , which you can feel with speeds 150kmh+ .
The wobble is minimal so the reseller will not replace them , but it makes me sad when car is shuddering with high speeds.
I am very dissapointed and will never buy these again.
