Post by: xtetx on 04 October 2012, 18:27: they will fit fine mate. Out of interest, have you got photographs of the wheels?
Personally, i wont be going any more that an 18inch alloy but lots of people are starting to run the 19" x5 alloys and they are wide as hell!

Post by: miggs2002 on 05 October 2012, 12:55: i had 9x19's on my mk4 when i bought it, not sure what the et was but there was no contact with the coilovers, they didn't rub until i dropped the car lol, tyres were 235/35/19, i have a 4motion and although the 4 wheel drive system improves the handling it was a shocking car round corners, i have got rid of the 19's and am now running 18's with 215/40/18 tyres and the corners i was losing control on at 50 i can now do 80 round with just a bit of tyre squeal rather than full blown sideways slides

Post by: supramad77 on 13 October 2012, 21:21: I have rs8 19"s on mine not sure on wheel width but have 235 rubber fitted. Think the rear has been dropped. No spacers or rubbing. Will have a look tomorrow at the wheel width.
