Hi mate, this size wheel will extend a further 18mm more than the standard GTi wheels, so on coilovers you could have a problem.  Regarding tyres, 225 or 235 35 R19 would be best.

You would need 225 or 235, a bit of poke is fine as the arches have some flare to accommodate that kind of width, you might want to consider a bit of stretch on your tyres though so you dont have to wind the coilies up any
