Pre sure they are the same
Okay, so I have a mk6 R that was factory delivered with 18 inch wheels. Can I just swap them over for 19insh mk6 R Talladegas? Is the steering lock different on cars delivered with 18's vs 19's meaning if I put 19's on I'll rub at full lock?
My other option is a set of 18 x 8 with 48 offset fitted with 235/40/R18. Using the online calculators this combo isn't much wider than stock 18's but the diameter is slightly bigger, but still not as much as 19's with 235/35/R19.
Car has stock suspension i.e.. not lowered at all.
thanks in advance...

As per title mark 6 tsi/tdi with mark 5/6 detroit 17inch rims.
Hi guys. I have the standard 17in rims on my GTI: looking for tyre options/suggestions for 225/45.
Currently running Dunlop Sport Maxx and Dunlop Direzza. Looking for a tyre that doesn’t drum as much (it’s a daily driver) but has a bit of grip too.
I have heard that moving up to 18in (225/40) brings better options but I’ll throw it open to the brains trust.
Thanks

Thanks @brad.
Did you find the Michelin’s gave less noise? I’m guessing it was a bit more comfortable too with the taller tyre.

I don't know how much noise the Sport Maxx and Direzza make, so can't make a comparison.
I'm a Michelin fan, so if buying new they would be my preference.
Noise can be reduced / controlled slightly by cross-rotating the tyres every 10,000km.
Yes, the slightly taller sidewall will give a bit more bump absorption but slightly less response if you are chasing absolute maximum handling.
Recommend you also run around 36-40 psi all round.

My wife has just had Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 fitted in 235/45r17 replacing Pirelli P Zero in 225/45r17. Initial feedback is that the larger size rides a little softer, and indeed fills out the guards a little more and offer more rim protection. Early days as far as testing grip levels but they seem to offer equal grip to the Pirelli's at the same stage, however I think that the Goodyear's offer a better ride. $220 each fitted is pretty good value for a performance tyre. Made in Europe too.

Hi guys, new here,
Anyone did a change from the stock 2010 118TSI Golf rims to 19's without modifications and just straight swap? What would be your recommendations? I'm just after a nice look, and I dont want to do any modfications, lowering, etc.. Would it work?
