Yeh... Your H&R's would drop by 30mm but with the FDS's on that would make it about 25mm, Just like mine

NICE......

Is it an optical allusion or are you park close to that Kerb....   Kerbs and wheels don't mix... LOL

I've got use to leaving about 6"-12" between my wheels and the kerb.

are 19s practical??
i mean like over the all so common speed bumps and the messed up rodes we have?
what about road noise?

19s look just right on the mk5 golf and are very tempting to buy..

maybe i need a little drive in someones mk5 with 19s

I was pretty close but not as much as it looks   :shocked: was directly outside my house next to the low kurb.

19's do give a little more noise but worth every dB

you need a quality rim in 19" with strength (like the BBS) to cope with the UK roads

Add 40psi in the tyres as well... Saves the rims when going over those pot holes.
