It doesn't fit, it WILL rub.Don't be so sour my man, chill out, here is a 19x9 with 225 tires, fit quite nice and fine.
Are we talking about tastes? I'm talking about serious vehicle dynamics and physics.And its all different likes and views, some like the car lower, some don't. Some like fatter tires some don't.
I already said it's wider. There are still limits.Also you are saying to keep close to stock ET, is not always the case, the 45ET was optimal for mk5/mk6, the mk7 is bigger therefore you can go even lower and be completely fine.
Because they don't know. that they just could have been set camber to aThere are people running on here 19x8 et45 with a 8mm spacer on the rear and 225 tires, so again it really depends what you want to achieve.
Again, fell free to do a google search.I've had numerous wheels and different offsets, and this generation is more forgiving. If you're not new to VW you should already know this.
Pass it or resell it. It isn't a good deal if it damages your car.Lol...what happened here? @the Bruce - no option on the wheel spec as it's a second hand set. Getting it for a good price, will update with pics of fitment once done.
18x8 et 35
18x8.5 et 40
are all flush.
225/40/18 tire for 8"
235/40/18 tire for 8.5" wheels
These are specs for a stock height.
If you want exact tire size and offset for a lowered car, ask me.

"18x9.5 et40 squared with 8mm spacers in the front and 12.5 mm spacers in the rear, I didn't know these had that much room."

Isn't it better to just use spacers as you can at least rotate your tires properly?
