ATTN WHEEL WHORES!!! Need assistance!

What car have you got ?

stephen8512 has a Golf R.

I'm not sure about 9" width wheels on a Golf. Even with 18 or 19" x 8.5" wheels, people experience rubbing issues (with 235 width tyres). I'm pretty sure Fab_R is running only 225 width tyres to attempt to avoid this.
I had the Oettinger Type RE 18x8.5" ET50 rims with 235/40R18 tyres and had the occasional rub on my MKV GTI, nothing major. It was stock suspension though...

I'm not sure about 9's either.I reckon 8.5x19ET50 with 235/35's will be about it looking at mine.Even if the 9's fitted up front,an ET decrease of 14mm will make it steer like a truck and tramline I'd reckon.

Did you ever try 225/40's on the Oettingers? They might have been fine.

[Corey_R]

No... unfortunately a bus driver was asleep or checking out hot women walking at the side of the road or something... but he cleaned up my Golf GTI and 3 other cars in front of me in peak hour on the way home from work. We were all at a stand still waiting for lights to change on the opposite side of a round-a-bout and he came along and hit me from behind... it was a 70 zone and he never braked, so car was a write off :/

Thankfully the bus was empty and myself and the drivers of the cars in front were ok.

[LWR]

That wouldn't have been good.Glad you and the others were OK.

im looking at getting some 19x9's +36 front, +30 rear or 18x9's +35 all around....what do u guys think

Hey mate. Your specs are VERY aggressive. My advice would be to go for 18/19" x 8.5" with a +45et, all round.

aggressive is the plan.... 19x8.5 +45 is weak.

wider rears can promote under steer in some cars, square set up like they have from factory is pretty good. Wider all round is nice

which is what im trying to go for but it'd have to be different offset for front and rear though....im thinking somethign like a +36 and a +32 at the rear....with camber

go with this Steph:

19x9.5, offset +35
