NO, you're just biased because it's your car! Stop fibbing to others! Not stock = rubbing!

/Sarcasm

The car looks bloody great Pound, hope you're enjoying the R as much or more as the CC!

Gotta love good friends who are bad influences! That's how I got into the R in the first place. The RS3, definitely in a different league both in power/capability and $$$. If you can, I doubt you'd regret anything, but the R is a sweet spot for sure.

You would really want an 8.5-9in wheel to run 245's. Running too wide of a tire on a narrow wheel will actually hurt performance, as shown by various race teams' track times experimenting with tire size.

If you don't care about track times and steering that feels a little bit less sharp, you will have a more compliant ride with 245s vs 235s due to the taller sidewall.

I've got some Neuspeed RSe 14s in 19X8 et45, is this going to be wide enough to 'properly' run the 245s?

It doesn't rub, if it did I wouldn't be running them haha! But I also have fully adjustable suspension which makes a huge difference

Probably on your 993 (rear) or a TT (all 4 corners).
No chance on a Mk7 without doing some extended fender work.

Regarding Pound's picture above:
I don't want to argue here, but forum members seeking for honest advice deserve
some unadorned words to be spoken.
I don't buy that 'no rubbing' thing. Someone may not perceive rubbing yet, which
I believe him any time, but being that close it definitely will rub when driven harder.

What tires are you running

Continental DWS...only because we get a lot of rain where we live, otherwise would have gone with PSS summer tyres. however, this is an all season tyre and it grips like hell even under full throttle and with dry or wet conditions. I have no complaints about these tyres...at all. A good all round choice. My car with photos is included in this thread back on page 4, so you can see that they look really great on the 19's as well (not too big, not too small....just right).

Very pleased and will buy again.

Bringing this up. Has anyone run 245/35/19 with ED springs?

From the 6 pages it seems like I would be good with 19x8.5 et45

But please tell me if I’m mistaken!
