My mk5 has 19" wheels
8.5J et43 with 235/35 tyres
They fit fine, although I haven't tried with passengers yet.

You're right! Dunno why I thought they were 235. Lol.

I rub with 215/35 on ET44 (sits 1mm further in away from the arch) so have fun with that lol
Unfortunately most people on this forum don't understand stretch or fitment or stance
19x8 et 35 will fit but I would recommend 215/35 tyres. Unfortunately it's either that or 235/35 or 40s which give a weird look and can (and probably will) cause clearance issues.
Putting wheels on a car without lowering it almost always makes it look a bit silly
You can fit quite a wide range of ETs on a Mk5..
Depends on width but you can fit a 9.5j et 30 on the rear quite happily. The fronts the most you can realistically fit is a 19x9 et41 (bentley).
