Help ASAP What tire size for rear tires 19x.8.5 rims
Im purchasing 19x8.5 rims for the TT and was wondering what tire size I should go with for the rear . I'm going with 225 35 19 in the front. Pics would be great
Thanks.

Thoughts on that please >>>>
I was going to purchase a 28mm sway (FWD) and Sully? said it didn't work out for him. I have also heard from others that I would need to adjust the front if going that "big" in the back...
I would welcome your opinion ...
Thanks, (it certainly would be something I would be interested in if I new it would help the understeer)

I'll offer my opinion, but I'm probably not the guy to ask...
28mm is a big sway bar, but I'm not sure what the characteristics of the FWD cars are. supposedly the 19mm on a quattro makes the car more neutral. Does someone make an adjustable set for the fwd cars? that way you might be able to tune it a little better. going too big could make the car oversteer way more than one might be confortable with.

Narrower rear tires would reduce understeer :-p
Honestly, I don't know much about the rear suspension on FWD TTs. What is the diameter of the original bar? 28mm sounds pretty large.
