19" Omanyt rims on MKV R32

[silver32]

I once saw a pic of a white R32 with 19" omanyts on them and that looked wicked! gave it a bit of a spruce up. I wouldnt go with 20" though, I think the ride would suffer quite a bit. Thanks for the mswt site though. Had a look the other day.

There are a few guys in the Ozmps club running around in MPS3s with the 20s from the CX9 - very similar style to the stock MPS3 wheels. Some people reckon it looks OK, I think 20s are too much on a Golf / MPS3 size car. But it's a personal thing I guess. The ride certainly suffers.

LOL!

I love when people do the maintenance on their own websites:
"$COMMING BACK SOON"

Its not my website... No affiliation just a link to where I had seen what was discussed

not only ride, but performance would be hampered too!! turning circle would most definately be reduced as well.

You wont have a problem fitting 19" on the R32, it will depend on finding a correct tyre with the correct load rating.

8" is dead flush. i thought 8.5" would stick out of guards... obviously not the case?

yeah stock mk5 r32 omanyts are 18 x 7.5 ET51. I am offloading my set, if anyone is interested. I also have a spare (5th wheel) with 225 40 18 dunlops with 90% wear still left in them. Them also look nice in black. there's a thread somewhere...

Here is a picture of Geralis' old R32 running 19" Omanyts. They look great i rekon, a good compromise of looks/comfort/handling etc.

Erm... thread is nearly two years old, so I don't know if the OP still cares...

Does anyone know if the Phaeton 19" Omanyt rims will fit a MKV R32? I'm not familiar with offsets etc...
I think Oempl.us has them. I would love to go up a size from my 18"
I would also consider Helios rims if hey come in 19"

But here's the answer anyway:


Omanyt

Golf
7.5 J x 18 ET 51

Passat
8.0 J x 18 ET 44
8.0 J x 19 ET 44

Phaeton
9.0 J x 19 ET 40
9.0 J x 19 ET 35

Tiguan
9.0 J x 19 ET 33

Touareg
9.0 J x 20 ET 60
10.0 J x 21 ET 50


Helios

Phaeton
8.5 J x 19 ET 45

List is by no means comprehensive.


The Phaeton and Tiguan wheels may or may not fit the Golf without rubbing (would look too wide in any case IMO), so the Passat wheels would be a better option. The Touareg wheels have a different bolt pattern (5 x 130 mm).

As for tyre choice, 235/35 R19 91Y XL would be the smallest fitment you could get away with on a Golf in regards to load index, as 225/35 R19 88Y XL would be insufficient (and almost certainly illegal).
