18x8.0 ET45 how would these go

[vag12]

Right so I plan to come from 19"s down to 18"s because of alot of problems such as rubbing handling weight comfort etc,
So the wheels I have found comes as on the title, I want to put 235 40 18 up front and 245 40 18 on the rear, wanted to know is anyone running a similar setup and get any issues with rubbing?
Btw I have eibach sport lines on

225/40/18 all round fits fine. How come going for different sizes?

[vag12]

To be honest am fine with 225 up front but want wide looking tyres on the rear, sure it would help with the handling too

Wide tyres wont do much on 8j wheels. Go 9j on the rear

iv had issues with 8.5 and 235 on rear no way a 9 would help

[JoeDarKa]

Go to 225s. I have 9js on mine, lowered on H&Rs with 225 and dont have a problem

18x8 et45 fit fine at pretty much any ride height.

Cheers mate do you if 245 would go on the rears with no rubbing?

[xjay1337]

Fit a 225 dude, 245 is just odd on a Mk5. Plus rubbing depends on how low you are going to want to run which you haven't said.

You might get away with a 245 but as I said it's a weird size for the back of a Mk5. If it rubs you should be able to increase the camber slightly to negate the problem.
