Here it is....[ATTACH]845[/ATTACH]

What tyres you got on the Jetta and do you have any rubbing issues?


Im looking at doing the same.

The tyres are 235/35 R19.... I think its cuz of the 45 offset and 8.5" rim...You can't fit an 8.5 rim on a 50 offset as it will hit the fuel tank pipe on the right hand side. So best bet is an 8 inch rim on a 50 offset...at lest the entire rim will go under the guard...its not that it rubs all the time it has only happend once in 3 weeks..

19/40/225 might have fit better but they look great and the car doesn't look like a 4WD with the suspension and wheel combo!

Can't wait to see more pics

it looks nice.

i was going to lower my jetta before i saw these pics.

what tyre brand did you end up getting?


i want to put 19 inch helios, im leaning towards kumho ku31s.

The tyres are Falkens FK452's...

Cool Jetta 7164

hows the ride quality going on the springs and shocks?

does it still stick to the ground on ESP with the 19s?

the 17s give it a nice smooth ride. just want to know before i go ahead if the ride quality is compromised.

your complaints on switching?.....

should i go 225/35 or go 235/35?

[7164]

Well the ride is more firmer with the 19's you expect a little bit more of a firmer ride....I still findn it smooth especially coming from my last car. I think it will depend if you haven't driven a car with lowered suspension and big rims as you might find it a tad rough.

In regards to the springs and shocks there is one facotry mod you must do. I only found out last week whilst fixing an issue with the car last week there is an options for a suspension limiter. Apparently this gets fitted as standard when you order 18's. This limits the travel of the rims so the don't "bottom out" the part fitted is only $46..I'm getting this fitted hopefully this week and i'll let you know if this affects the daily ride.

In regards to getting 235 or 225, your better off i think going 235 as this gives you a tiny bit more of wall height and a better ride.

[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

[7164]

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.

[7164]

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