Hi all,

Firstly I have done a search for this but have come out scratching my head somewhat. I’m wanting to know if I am able to legally (in the eyes of the law and insurance) fit 19x8.5 on my 2009 Jetta.

Currently the vehicle has 205/55/16, and from reading the posts on here and elsewhere, there is mixed opinions about load rating, and if the load rating for 19s will be sufficient. Can anyone shed some light with definitive information? If there is any concern about legality, I’ll stick with 18s, however I’d love to fit the 19s on if the option is there (and insurance won’t knock back a claim in the event of an accident)

Cheers all.
