What Size Tires Would You Recommend (19")

['mk4-turbo]

Ordered a set of 19" BLQ's (et35)

im on H&R springs so im looking for a size that wont make me rub (dont think i will on this setup)

but i might end up switching to coilovers this summer so i want something that would be compatible for both setups if i do do the switch

not looking for a "stretch" look

Thanks

[Cor]

I'm getting 225-35-19, not much of a stretch, since I'm going a bit low I dont wanna rub. Just a bif safer than 235s

['mk4-turbo]

^^what brand you going with?

[Cor]

Don't know yet, I don't wanna pay 300$ per tire. Might go with some hankooks or continentals.

['mk4-turbo]

same here...gonna look around

[Schmaud]

235/35/19 's would be pretty solid. That's what I run.

i run continental DWS all seasons..... 225/35/19

I am tucking more than half my tire & have never rubbed

19x8.5 et 35

they are mine!!!

235-35-19 is what I had but 225-35-19 should work fine as well. Post pics once they are installed.

any rubbing with your setup?

[ryanworth]

Any idea of how low you are? That would be the deciding factor between 225/235.

[Blue_z]

I am also going with 225's .. getting my coilovers next week and whenever i find a good deal on tires i ll grab them

[Mc Suly]

for 19 run 235/30/19!!! looks nice.

Vdubjetta02, b7daily, mk4-turbo how low are you to the ground? fenders to ground inches?

['mk4-turbo]

well im lowered on H&R springs and the site says 1.7 front and 1.6 rear

i think im gonna run a 235/35/19

Mc Suly: i dont have that info with me but i could get that tonight and will post it up

[Blue_z]

If you are not slammed go with 235's the only reason why I am going with 225's it's because i getting coilovers and I am going very very low, 235's would rub

[ryanworth]

for 19 run 235/30/19!!! looks nice.


235/30 is too small. That's like rubber band status.

which coilovers you going with?

[Blue_z]

I am getting the kw v1's got a pretty good deal on them from AMI

['mk4-turbo]

nice! perfect coilovers for our climate

[tarunpatel]

We'll i'm getting lowered on Neuspeed sport which lowers your car 1.4-1.6 and i'm running 235/35/19 for the fronts and 245/35/19 for the rear getting the wheels installed this week will post some pics up!~

['mk4-turbo]

Cool post some pics when you got a chance


Just measured fender to ground and it's at 24.5 "

[ryanworth]

At the height 235/35 would fit perfectly. I would recommend 225 on that size, but since you don't like the stretch look nvm. Haha.

[Mc Suly]

I measured too outside again.

Fender to ground +- 23.35 inches.

['mk4-turbo]

If I go the coil over route do you I'll have issues with the 235's?

[jadekidj]

run some 245/35/19s gonna be wide and no rub

[ryanworth]

You can run 235's with no issues on coils, even if you go a bit lower. If you wanted to run 245's like jadekidj said, you couldn't go too much lower or else you'd rub.

['mk4-turbo]

Thanks for the info

[Blue_z]

Go with coilovers and grab a set with me haha rotiforms with a gap would never look as good as rotis with no gap

[vdubjetta02]

Im low in the front.... I believe around 23.5

I am tucking more than half my tire in front, and only tucking about 10% in the rear

I am positive i would rub with 235's unless i was rolled

[ChipsöfSix]

Perfect thread I had the same question!

i ran 225/35 on 9" wide wheel this summer about your ride height too (23" range).. i now have 235/35 on the 9" wide wheel for winter and i run a little and i'm at 25" range currently

[freaksavior]

VMR told me 235/35 on the 19" x 8.5"

[Kubus]

Its nothing to rollen on the A4... u have to pull the fender but not roll

[Kubus]

My fronts are rolled. Fender liners are still there. I just removed the top screw and trimmed out the plastic tabs. No biggie.

[vdubjetta02]

kubus, more pics asap!

So on a 8.5" wheel a 235 shouldnt rub IMO
