Rotiform 19 x 8.5 wheels advice required please.

[Dutch77]

thanks guys, I’ve ordered a set of Rotiform SPF which weigh 26 lbs which I understand is the same weight as stock. The KPS which I also liked was 1 lb heavier and slightly more expensive so went with the SPF. Should be on the car next week sometime, car is new so I’ll swap the OEM tyres onto the new rims with no wheel alignment really necessary.

Yep you will be fine. I have done this on a few cars now (although I did buy tyres for the first time in 20 years a few months ago).

..all that is required is pics or it didn't happen.

No problemo Dutch, I’ll take some pics and try to upload.

Hi all, I’m wondering whether they will rub (my car is standard height) and whether once they are fitted whether a 4 wheel alignment would be necessary?

I'm running 19x8.5 TSW Bathurst wheels with oversize (245/35) tires on a stock suspension (Mk7.5 GTI). No rubbing, no problems, no realignment required.

Please post up in the wheel thread (although I have copied some TSW Bathurst set ups from the USA previously so if your active on golfmk7 or vwvortex I may have pinched it already!).

Thanks on both accounts Dutch. I'm very happy with the transformation. The boys at Bob Jane says it looks "Killer" haha.

They're a good looking wheel that suits the Golf IMO.

When you have time let's get some more shots up in the wheel thread.

No probs can do, hope they don't upload upside down again!
