To put some dust off this topic, i have a question for you wheel experts. have anyone been rolling on 19x9.5 et 40 on the rear. the fronts are 19x8.5 et45, so there no problem. i am just worried about the rear, as the wheel is big and i dont know if i can put it on the car

What tyres do people recommend for a Mk5 R32? It's on the standard 18" wheels so 225/40.

I haven't found anything remotely like this in this forum. There may be, I'm just not seeing it. So, I'll post it and perhaps the OP can copy and paste in the first post so to be easier to find. I know it is relative to original ride height given it relates to drop, but it is somewhat close regardless.

I have just joined. I’m hunting for edition 30 alloys for my standard Mk5 GTI. Has non Vw monzas on it which I don’t like. If anyone can help?

Hi guys is it too much to put 16" 6.5j et33 on regular  mk 5 (not GTI) or it will look good? I m speculating about that offset. What is the maximum offset for 6.5 16"? Regular is, if im right, about 48.

Tyre is 205/55.

Thanks.

I have 225/40/18 et 45 right now and it sits perfectly in-line with the fender (no rubbing). 6.5 with et 33 should fit without issues and also look better. I have 205/55/16 et 48 on my old one and that sits so far in that it actually looks bad.
