Hi all,
Am in a dilemma after reading through 22 pages.
Thinking of fitting Enkei NT03RR in 18x9 +45. Will there be any rubbing issues if I stay at stock height or even slightly lowered ?
And I plan to mount them with stock 225/40 rubber. Will it then be too stretched ? How about if I upsize to 235/40. Will it then create another set of issues regards to rubbing?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I tried the stock Pirellis on my 18x8.5 and they were pretty damn stretched. The stock tires are really meant for a 7.5" wheel. The tread width on the stock Pirellis are 7.5" so any wheel wider than 7.5" will have some stretch. I wouldn't even think about trying them on a 9" wheel IMO. Every tire is a little different.... the tread width being a pretty important number to take note of.

It will be tight. I'm running almost the same setup, but 9" in rear. The gap between the tire and spring is pretty small. Plus, your rear wheels will stick out more than the fronts, which IMO, will look silly. 8.5 up front with 9 in the rear looks even all around.Hi, I have a 2015 Sportwagen TDI
Was thinking of buying a set of staggered VMR 810s front 19×8.5 et45 and rear 19×9.5 et45. I'm lowered on H&R sport springs (not super sports), I know the front will fit fine, I'm just worried about the rears. Anyone know if they'll fit?
Awesome, thanks. What size tire are you running on the 9" wide?It will be tight. I'm running almost the same setup, but 9" in rear. The gap between the tire and spring is pretty small.

wheels look waaay sunken in, would yall recommend 5mm or 10mm spacers, I'm not looking to go entirely flush b/c i kind of dig the tucked look
