I'm looking to buy some 18" wheels but I want to know if i could go with a 235 tire size instead of the recomended 225? will the 235 rub on the suspension?

235, 245 would be fine

if i put on the 18"'s should the car be lowered to fill out the wheel wells?

hi thanks for the advice i'm new here, are those 18" of 19" on you black TT?

once you lower your car, depending on HOW low you go... rubbing becomes an issue...

the wheels on the picture below are 18x8 ET35... tires are 235x40/18... and they rubbed on my shock perch on my PSS9 coilovers...

so I needed 12MM spacers, and had to be 12MM: smaller would have hit the shock perch, bigger would have hit the outside fenders.....

conversely, 225 size tires would have worked perfectly without any spacers...

on 7.5 or 8" wheels 245s will be too wide, 225s or 235s would be better.
