BBS CH 026
19x8j ET50

Expect to pay about £800+ for a good straigh refurbed set and then about £600-£750 for decent 225/35/19 tyres



People run 8.5j et35 on golfs but i think this is too wide especially if youve got air bags.. they will catch as it slams down.

8j et50 is perfect

Oh, I was gonna order a brand new set 18x8.5..
Tuk customs said they'd fit as when I go all down on my air the top of the rear wheels go in.

^^^^ i think that's around 30mm extra poke over standard 18"x7.5" ET51 wheels on a Mk5. Hope your not lowered, rub a dub vdub dub!  :laugh:

8.5 works perfectly well on a Mk5.  :happy2:
Ideal width IMO.

That's the widths I was considering getting

My van wheels are 19x8.5j et35 with 235/35/19 tyres

Firstly the extra width of the wheel means really it needs a 245 section tyre (the 235 on mine leave alot of rim unprotected and im not keen on the look) which is expensive and will rub on the arches and is too wide for the mk5 platform really if you want it to drive nicely (although you fitted air so im guessing your not fussed about dynamic handling)

Secondly... I tried them on the golf and they stuck out too far for my liking at my ride height and although i obviously couldnt test... it looked very much as if going any lower than my 35mm lowering springs would cause lots of rubbing without some serious arch mods.
