19 x 9 Rear Will it Fit?

they understeer enough as it is. put wider tyres on the rear and youll make it worse.

XL is not the load rating - it's the speed rating.
I believe the octavia requires a min load rating of 89.

RS wagon requires 92 I believe.

RS wagon requires 92 I believe.

i just checked my (liftback) tyre placard - min load rating of 615 kg, or load index of 91.


interestingly, the build plate states an axle weight of 650 kg.



load index & speed rating listed here.

On a RWD Nissan, yes - On a FWD VW, no

W is the speed rating - XL means eXtra Load

Scrubbing is a steering term - I presume you mean rubbing
It will depend on your offset, tyre size and ride height

In NSW you are not allowed to increase rim width by more than 1"
You may impact your insurance cover or even get defected (unlikely?)

Next problem is the tyre size, to keep the same rolling diameter you need 255/30/19
That's an odd size, may be hard to source, will cost a fair bit more than the stock tyres,
they will spray dirt down the size of the car, they almost certainly will rub

225/30/19 will give a 0.7% diameter change - will be stretched on a 9" rim (but is a legal tyre/rim match)
235/35/19 will give a 1.5% diameter change

Those sizes are bmw 335i sizes. I thought its 2 " will be the max you can upsize without being defect. 225/35/19 should be fitted wuth 255/30/19

Total tracking may be 2" wider - hence 1" wider wheels each side
