Here it is....Attachment 845

What tyres you got on the Jetta and do you have any rubbing issues?


Im looking at doing the same.

The tyres are 235/35 R19.... I think its cuz of the 45 offset and 8.5" rim...You can't fit an 8.5 rim on a 50 offset as it will hit the fuel tank pipe on the right hand side. So best bet is an 8 inch rim on a 50 offset...at lest the entire rim will go under the guard...its not that it rubs all the time it has only happend once in 3 weeks..

19/40/225 might have fit better but they look great and the car doesn't look like a 4WD with the suspension and wheel combo!

Can't wait to see more pics

Cool Jetta 7164

hows the ride quality going on the springs and shocks?

does it still stick to the ground on ESP with the 19s?

the 17s give it a nice smooth ride. just want to know before i go ahead if the ride quality is compromised.

your complaints on switching?.....

should i go 225/35 or go 235/35?

[7164]

Well the ride is more firmer with the 19's you expect a little bit more of a firmer ride....I still findn it smooth especially coming from my last car. I think it will depend if you haven't driven a car with lowered suspension and big rims as you might find it a tad rough.

In regards to the springs and shocks there is one facotry mod you must do. I only found out last week whilst fixing an issue with the car last week there is an options for a suspension limiter. Apparently this gets fitted as standard when you order 18's. This limits the travel of the rims so the don't "bottom out" the part fitted is only $46..I'm getting this fitted hopefully this week and i'll let you know if this affects the daily ride.

In regards to getting 235 or 225, your better off i think going 235 as this gives you a tiny bit more of wall height and a better ride.
