9.5J on the rears?

[Sharif]

Hi all,

Considering refurbing the Mams I have and running them on my MK5.

Specs are 8.5 on the fronts ET45, 9.5 on the rears, ET 35, PCD 5x112. Current tyres on them are 235/35/19.

Would the wheels fit ok on the current tyres, or would I need to change them? I have 225/35/19s on my lm reps which I could swap over.

And would the rears poke?

Thanks,

Sharif

you will have a lot of poke im running et35 8.5 and i poke u will have to do the fender screw mod and probably need to roll your arches to try and prevent rubbing

Sharif,

You would be ok up front slammed or not with ET45, rears : depending how low you wanted to go the rears will rub unless you  add the following,

option 1 dial in some camber
option 2 run 225's at the back for some added stretch.

Or both of the above will work really well.


Here is mine with 19x8.5 19x9.5 ET35 all round 215/35/19 up front 235/35/19 rears, did rub at the back causing some damage on the arches as well but I was not running any camber at the time.

fronts you'll be fine with

rears you'll struggle with without camber and things

you'll need thinner tyres

You can also tuck them

Thanks for the help guys, now to decide whether to run them.
