Just picked up a set of 17x9s on the Apex group buy and got them in today. These things are spectacular, and I'm excited for the snow to finish melting so that I can throw them on. In the meantime, I'm looking for some experience.
I run up and down some really rough roads, and want some extra sidewall to absorb impacts. I am thinking 245/45/17 on the 17x9 wheels, however, a I'm a little concerned about rubbing. It's a 2019 Golf R with stock suspension, and will have Indy 500s on it. Has anyone tried this combination? I'm fine with some rubbing, but if it's severe, I may go with Apex's recommendation of 255/40/17, but I that feels like a bit much width.
Thanks!
