Quick question on tire size

[clerkpalmer]

Looking at some used VMRs coming of a GTI. They are 19 x 8.5 running 225/35/19. Any issue with that size on my S3? Also, the tires have a load rating of 88. Is that a problem? Thanks so much.

In ran that same size on the same size wheel on my MK6R. The only "issue" is that its a bit of a stretch and on the S3 you can fit a wider tire.

Thanks. I will run them to the ground and then when it comes time to replace them go with something wider I suppose. Any thoughts on whether the load rating is a big deal?

It was fine on my MK6R which should be close in weight to the S3. I had no issues at all.
