Anyone running 245/35/19 on STOCK SUSPENSION?

You also need to remember/know that PSS tires run a size large. So 235s on those are actually 245 equivalent of most other brands. That HRE Flow Form pictures above are running 245 PSS (255 equiv) with no issues but the offset on those are only 47 and width is 8.5. If you start running 9 width and offsets lower than 45, you may get some problems on the inner side.

The black gti looks sharp. What tires is that one running. I agree with reallypeacedoff, not all tires specs appear to be the same my conti profile is much different than the PSS profile.

Cool I figured, haven't found any rims that I really like yet

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.

Have you looked at VMRs ? They look sweet on any vehicle

VMR, TSW, Neuspeed, and Forgestar have light wheels in the correct widths and offsets that won't break the bank. Check em out!

Thank you Toni and Zen I will check an out

I know it's not likely, does anyone know if a 255/35r19 tire with a 19x9 et50 wheel would work?

I found a crazy good deal on some almost new enkei's with Pirelli summer tires. That's why they are for sale, rubbing issues on a passat.

That's a lot to ask with those specs. Even on stock suspension, I would venture no because the 19x9 ET50 wheels will be more inwards towards the suspension by ~13mm (along with 13mm outwards) if comparing stock spec of 19x8 ET50 (w/235/35/19 tires). 13mm outwards is fine as it will be almost flushed with fender but 13mm inwards closer to the struts will cause some sort of rubbing IMO.

Take a look at the calculations here:

Id like to ride up there just to try it out, but he's 2 hours away. It would have to rub somewhere.

BTW, on the blue R, specs are: FlowForm FF01 Wheels - Liquid Silver
19x8.5 ET47 - 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports

Here's mine on stock springs w/245's. I have a set of VWR's in my garage waiting for install.

@Pound, no rubbing whatsoever on stock suspension? The 245/35 19s sure do make it more square on an 8.5 width wheel and fills the gap just a bit more nicely. I'll be very curious to see if you rub once those VMR springs come on.

Also curious if you have DCC?

No rubbing at all so far but I've only had the car for 2 days I do have DCC
