1) I'll make a bigger effort to re-read THIS thread from page ONE................
2) If my Front Wheel is already OUT past Flush a couple of mm's are you
saying that having the FRONT Wheel/Tire Poking out 12-13mm's is
the accepted GOOD LOOK ??? (Not in My World)

Not Yelling just Emphasizing

I answered your questions. An 18x8.5 +45 wheel doesn't poke out. It's not exactly flush either.

Here's my old gti with 18x8 +45 with 10mm spacers front and 15mm on the rear with 225/40 tires.

Here's my R with 18x8.5 +35 with 245/40 tires with no spacers.

With that said, it's your car. Do what you want.

255/30 on 19x9 et 40 all around

Any close ups of the tire and wheel? I just want to see how the shape of the tire looks on that size. Also, which tire?

The wheels poke and I'm looking for the best adjustment in order to improve the fitment, any advice?
I'm considering the seibon wide fenders or rubbing the wheel and increase the offset to 40

You got a ton of suggestions on this already: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/19x9-wheels-2019-gti.373675/

1/2" wider fenders is one option, but if you're talking about cutting material off the wheel pad to gain 5mm that is a HUGE waste on a well made wheel and won't make as much difference as camber plates would.

Just don't lower it too much, get camber plates, set the rear camber ~ -2 degrees and enjoy.

Do you know if the rear wheels will poke the same? I only tried the front wheel to see how it looked
