Looking at tires for my 19x8.5" Volks... Wondering if any of you run 245/35/19?

Thanks.

Default It is the size recommended by TireRack, and they are conservative.

255s may work too.

Default Thanks Tom

Hey, do you plan on having Penske coilovers for B6/B7?

I will be ordering a set from you for my B5 some time next year.

Default Yes

Though it will take some time. First off, need to get myself a 2.0T. I may be ordering one next week. Valving should be very close, so I do not expect that to take a long time. Front, I hear is identical, so again - that shall be easy. Rear is an all new game, will need to develop that.

As to the B5, you would be the 2nd 1.8T owner with Penskes. I assume you track the 1.8T quite a bit?

Yeah, it actually would look better raised 1/4". IMHO!

Default Re: Anyone run 245/35/19?

depends on the wheels offset and the specific tire you picks. Tire sizes can vary tremendously, with some 225's being as wide as some 245's
