19" rims on jetta

[moguzhan]

cool.

please let me know what the suspension limiter is and how you go.


i might actually call the dealer as well and ask them as well.

i know with GTI's they put something on the fenders or suspension for 18 inch rims.

WHAT ALL ROUNDER TYRE CAN YOU GET FOR $200-$250 ON 19s

235/35/R19

My Falkens were $300 each..but I was told that my other option was Yokohama's for $250 each...I heard today the Dunlop Sport are a good tyre and are similar to the continental sport 2 which come stocko on the jetta, but these may be more expensive...your best bet is if you buy the rims and tyres from the same place see what they can do, and if you can do it offer them cash

did you get the spare rim as 19s?

hopefully it fits in the boot. esp with 235/35

i think im gonna go for the kumho ku31s. i found them at Tempe Tyres in NSW for 220 each. which is pretty good cause theyre like 350+ in Melb.

Nah didn't get the 19 spare...wasn't worth it...the stock spare is full size so thats ok

Hey 7164

Have you considered lowering your Jetta with Eibach Pro kit? or any other springs for that matter? or have you asked about it or found out any info ? and Do you Rub on the 19s?

Looking at putting 19s i have but still undecided on tyre sizes.

225 with Eibach Prokit springs on stock suspension

or 235 with Eibach Prokit springs.

the 19s you have on look great and thats what mine will look like, but to spend big $$ on the tyres and then buy springs to lower, will it rub?

[7164]

After the the suspension traveller was put in it doesn't rub much at all. I was a bit scared to have 4 people in the car and it didn't scrub once, but you just have to watch your speed and humps, as the "landing" tends to rub a little.

My offset (45) is the cause of my rubbing, but i think the 235's give it a better ride.

I nearly had the suspension kit on order before i got the rims, glad i didn't though. it was only a 20mm drop.....it would off looked awesome.

[moguzhan]

suspension traveller?
Did you get bump stops on the suspension?

$46 bucks or so. Gotta get them in for the 15k service!

i love the subtlety of them. i'm thinking of a bora with aristo (mk4 r32 wheels) or similar to yours. i'm inspired to get a mk4 version happening. =P

what car did you have before if you're saying 19s are supple?

[7164]

I had a N15 Pulsar SSS on 17's, and was lowered 50mm, but over time it settled even. That ride was harsh compared to the 19's...
