new wheels shud they fit ok???

[p11jon]

right after a hard think i have decided to scrap painting the white rs8 wheels currently on the mk4 and just buy a new set.the tyres on the current wheels are new so if i stick with 18" wheels i dont have to pay out  for rubber but i have been toying with the idea of going up to a 19" wheel(version  2 rs6),i have seen these in that size on a audi a3 and they look really nice under the arches.my car has been slightly lowered by how much i dnt know and the size of tyre that wud come with the new 19" v2 rs6 wheels is a 235/35/19 should there be plenty of room in my arches for these wheels and tyres ??

anybody got any helpful answer to my question???

[vwfiend]

You havnt given an offset pal so it's a hard one to answer......

and it would help if you knew how low the car was too, see if the springs have a brand or part number on

i haven't a clue how much its lowered to be honest i dnt know if you can make a judgement from the pic of it on the 18's.the wheels im thinking of getting are v2 rs6 replica's from wheelbase offsets et 35-45 so dnt know what exactly it will be or what offset i will need for these wheels to have enough space thats what im asking really. i would like to run the 235 35 19 tyres they come with cuz on a past car i had 19's on i had a 215 and just looked narrow and just drove crap.

looking at my sig pic i would guess it cant be lowered more than 30-40mm over standard spring set up. the 18's on it now aren't right on the arches.plus i wont be having lots of weight in the back.what is your idea's??? the 235's be ok and not foul the arches???

225's would be better

As above 235 will be to wide in my eyes

[p11jon]

so if i go for these wheels from wheelbase i should ask to change the tyres that come with the package then ? is it just cuz of the extra height that means i cant go wider on tyre cuz i have seen some pritty wide tyres on some golfs,fair enough mainly on a 18" rim but surely the arches should cope for space ?

[p11jon]

or maybe i shud just stick to a 18" wheel? i was thinking bigger cuz i like a filled arch with wide chunky stance.but if i bought a rim with a dish i wud have to invest in coilovers to really sit the car on the tyre to achieve that look.i cant really be spending lots on the golf  its a run around i just want a tidy look not a money pit show car. what do u think i shud run the car on wheel wise??
