19" rims on jetta

[7164]

Hi everyone,

First time on this forum. In the market to buy a 07 jetta 2.0TFSI and want to put 19" rims on it. Has any one done it?? Any problems? Did you have to lower the car further than the factory 15mm??

19z have you any pictures from overseas that have given u insperation to do this??

There are a few mk5's running around with 19's nice and good.

This is the 3rd part to the vortex project Heartland Eos based on the same thing, 19x8.5

They look great mate. The one on the Caractere Mk5 looks sweet. Any ideas of what exact wheel you're going to consider?

Edit: Oh and welcome!!!

The ones on the Caractere are the best but i think they are least 20's... Was just checking the net from rims in Brissie but with no avail. Once i order the car (black of course) with black tinited windows and any rim that look stylish not those cheap n nasty chrome rims...i took one for a strap from the dealer with the options body kit and 18's and it looks to me that you could easily fit 20's but it comes down to ride and also the overall diameter ruling. It just has to look good standing still. Also wanting to do the apr air induction mod as well...the missus won't even know.

I Have even been thinking of getting some RS4 19"'s...copy ones of course, but i can only seem to find the at tempe???? Maybe i should order the car first..hehe

Saw these photos from jetta in usa and belgium on jettamkv forum..ordering the car tomorrow...going to make mine look similar to the black shown.

Very nice... this is what the 19" MTM's look like on a black Golf:



If you want any more feedback about them send me a PM!

Farout! that Black Jetta looks frekin wicked! DOIT! DOIT! DOIT!

[rayray086]

19's look good on the Mk5. It's like the 18's on Mk4s and 17's on Mk3s - big, but not over-done.

I've ordered the car last week, and should have it in 2 weeks....don't ask how come i got it so quick, it was a flook , i've shopped around for rims already and found a set i want but i'll have to wait until they are put on to determine how low to dump it on H & R springs.

Do you have any piccies of the rims?

I was thinking of these, but they will have pretty much no dish in 19" X 8.
