Quick question. What's the max size tyre/rim you can go with without scraping?Scirocco R - Candy White / DSG / Panoramic Roof / RNS510
Mods - HPA ECU & DSG Stage 2 / VWR Racing Intake / Akrapovic Slip-On Titanium Tips / Milltek DP / HPA Mounts / Superpro LCA / H&R Sport Springs / VMR V710 19x8.5 / Michelin PSS 255-35Comment

Lol I was thinking the same thing..Originally posted by Mac135 View PostMY12 Scirocco R - slightly not stock :rolleyes:Comment

Diameter or width?
I would not go to 20 inch diameter as the ride would degrade too much running on liquorice strips...
That leaves width... and we know that 9.5 inch with 265's needs a 35 ET and some negative camber on the rear...
Personally I think they are tyred about right... maybe go to an ET of 38 if you are changing wheels so they are out a touch further.

Are you saying you want to look like that, or that you already look like that?
On spring related topic..

Looks like a gloss gunmetal grey to me? Mainly because I noticed it in her signature
Andy, thanks for the info. I'm more interested in the width (that's what she said). With the "limitations" of FWD, fatter tyres would help keep the car in traction. I didn't want to go 265, but thought some 255s would go well.Scirocco R - Candy White / DSG / Panoramic Roof / RNS510

Well it all depends on what you are going to do to the car and how heavy your right foot is...Originally posted by ktrianta View Post
I have the Viezu tune and to be honest... if I just bury my right foot I can have wheelspin / traction control light easy in the first 3 gears before getting into illegal territory.. or I can modulate my right foot and get just get pushed back into the seat with all the torque.
Wider doesn't always mean better grip... it is dependant on the tyre too... the softer the compound the grippier it is and the faster it wears... not to mention the potential for aquaplaning in wet conditions with wider tyres...
At the end of the day... tyre width is limited by wheel width. I doubt you would get anyone to fit 255's onto the 8 inch rim. I think they would need 9 or 9.5 inch rims.
You would then want to look at the ET to ensure all was OK... and again.. I would go for either 38 or 35 depending on the rim width.
It isn't as simple as it seems....Candy White Scirocco R DSG with Panoramic Sunroof and RNS510 Sat Nav, tint

Thanks again. If I were to get wider tyres I'd obviously be looking at replacing the rims as well to a 9 or 9.5. I'll also be swapping out the tyres almost right away to Michelin PSSs.
Out of curiousity, what tyres are you guys getting from the dealer? Are most getting Potenzas?Scirocco R - Candy White / DSG / Panoramic Roof / RNS510

Took me 3 weeks because I wanted to find someone who I could trust with the carOriginally posted by she_dub View Post
Lets see how quickly you get your springs fitted when they arrive.
It really isnt that bad, I have some minor scrapes but nothing that wouldnt happen due to it already being low.Scirocco R - Candy White, Sat Nav,tinted windows, H&R Springs, 19x9 ETA BETA Tettsut X Black rims.

I have to say she_dub I do really like that wheel colour you went for, hawt and nice with the blue. I am guessing it also does a good job of hiding the brake dust? Must be the design of the wheel or something but they seem to get a lot dirtier a lot faster than any previous cars I have owned.
I have to say I also like the "land of the giants matte black" Andych is looking at too.
Anyone got any suggestions for what colour/finish combo of something like gloss/matte in black/anthracite or something like that for mine?
