Do 19 wheels go straight on ?
« on: April 26, 2012, 03:46:47 pm »
Hi guys as the title suggests I am looking at replacing my 17 monza's... maybe with some 18" pescaras... Then thought maybe go to some 19s do you have to have a specific ET and tyre size if you go to 19s. The car is a standard 58 GTI.  :wink:    Thanks for any advice.

I recently changed from the 17in monza`s to 19x8.5 et 30 with 215/35/19 tyres, they do poke a little but once lowered they sit perfect
