Title: What tyres on 18" Front 8J and Rear 9J
Post by: ams_sxi on 06 September 2011, 14:03

Got some new wheels for my mk5 Golf with offset ET35

Looking to get some tyres for them with a slight stretch. I have already got 225 40 18 on my monza wheels and they rub at the front on corners/roundabouts etc.

So was thinking
Fronts: 205 35 18
Rear: 215 35 18

Or are these too extreme?

225/40/18's should clear all ok with et35.

Et 35 is a lot less conservative on the mk5 than on previous platforms.
Check the chart in this thread, it's very accurate:
