19x8.5 +45 235/35/19

Any scrubbing with 235's? I ruled out a set of V713's cos of assumed scrubbing issues with legal sized tyres. But your car is making me change my mind again

a very little bit all round. I would go 225/35's

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but it is about tyres and there is Golf as well.

Can anyone please explain to me why most good looking aftermarket wheels for golf mk6 particularly 17X7.5 come in 45mm offset as opposed to 50/51mm OEM offset, is it because they are cheaper to produce than 50/51mm offset or they fit or look better on the golf?

probably because it's a slightly more aggressive stance & it allows them to give the appearance of a dished wheel.

17x7.5 ET45 is an OEM fitment on a lot of VW group vehicles AFAIK.

Those brakes look amazing! Lamborghini BBK must've cost a fortune!

Cheers mate =P

They are actually Audi Rs6 390mm 6pots. They also use them on the Audi r8. Still not cheap.

any decent priced options for the stock Mk6 Golf R with 19" Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 235/35ZR19 please?

Got 1 with a nail in the side wall
Done 40k on the stock tyres and they are still fine.

Got quoted $500+ for the above each :O
