After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

    your stock wheels are 19x8et42
    so the new wheels will give you ~20mm more 'poke' and ~6mm less inner clearance.

    Was just discussing similar sizes with another rocco owner (stock height) and it seemed ok to me over the phone.

        Hmmm well your tyres will not fit the rims if they are as you have posted... you have the tyres as 18's and the rims you nominated are 19's.

        The rims are fine in that offset but there is NO WAY I would even contemplate a 225 width on the Roc R... regardless of diameter
        You want more tyre contact patch... not less.
        Minimum I would use would be 245 width with 255 being preferred for a 9 inch rim width.

          the wheels he is looking at are 18's in his first post so wont be a problem

          however i agree with you, 255 or 265 all around for best traction

              I reckon the 255 will fit the 9 inch perfectly straight according to the fit guide below, hope it helps

                Hi Mate,

                Was just wondering if you got the rims fitted? Im thinking of getting a set of ce28's as well for my r32. Im just wasnt sure about the p.c.d for VW.

                Is it possible to post some pics up?

                Much Appreciate it
