Can I put on 235 40 19 from 235 35 19 on a Gti?

I was wondering if this is possible to do as recently I have realised with the potholes and bad quality roads all road london my wheels keep getting damage to them causing buckles and wheel parts getting chipped off. I was thinking of maybe going back to 18"s so at least it won't happen again I hope using 40 profile but that's a option and my question being the other is I possible? Probably would look stupid lol

wouldnt have thought so. i went to 225/45/18 and not lowered and they rubbed every time i went over a bump with winter tyres on. soon got rid. go back to 18s.

I guess you meant 225/45/19?

Yeah could do but is it possible to do in this size of wheel?

40 profiles on 19 inch wheels are a no go for mk5 golf even at standard ride height.

Looks like its going to be 18's for me then no other choice, Can anyone confirm if ET45 with eibach sportlines with 8.5 inch wheel wont rub?
