In the theme of off-roading in the Tiguan Gen 2 wheel thread, here's a Golf I came across when searching:

Ultimately I've decided on the SX in black. I think it makes the lapiz blue look bad-arse.

Great choice have you decided on a tyre size? 225 or 235 or 245?

Taleb couldn’t get the Roti’s? I thought they had them already...

True size? Using willtheyfit.com I’ve “chosen” 235/40/18 as my tyre size, simple because it gave the least amount of Speedo change. I understand the width in mm can be varied on the same rim, it I haven’t yet looked into wider vs narrower vs sweet spot width on a given rim, and what pros/cons they have. Here's the willtheyfit.com calculation of the stock 19"s vs 18x8 w 235/40/R18 tyres.

Assume that going wider/narrower than a sweet spot would give some but negligible change in overall wheel diameter, and therefore Speedo change.

Taleb didn’t have the black colour in stock and didn’t know when they’d get them. And because I get excited easily I chose swiftly and decisively

I usually swap my cars in less time than it takes to pick out a set of wheels.

235/40 on the 18 x 8s is fine; the 18 x 7.5 stock VW wheels are 225/40, but for a long time the 235/40s were far cheaper as it was the Falcodore sizing for 18s.

Possibly shopped. I'd say definitely! It's moving along and there's no driver. Dead give-away right there... Unless we're getting into the era of driverless monster trucks!
