    Continential SportContact 6 245/35/19

    Got an almost new set of Conti SportContact 6 245/35/19 tyres I bought from Bob Jane 10 days ago for $1,480. Continental SportContact(R) 6 (R02) 245/35R19 93Y | 245/35R19 Tyres for sale

    Short story is I used to run 245's on my old car with 19x8.5 rims with no problem. New car came with after market 19x8.5 rims so I thought id be ok but the wheels don't have enough backspace to run the 245's without rubbing.

    I'm temporarily running 5mm spacers but after having an insurance problem a few years ago I'm not keen to keep this setup.

    Cars done about 350km since fitting. As new. Looking for $950 Ono.

    What car did you try to run these on? That would help people make a decision on fitment.

    Hmmm my post disappeared weird.

    Mk7.5 wagon. Previously had a mk7 hatch (both R's).

    Don't think itsthe car (though could be) but rather the rim / tyre combo. My mtm wheels worked. These momo ones didn't.

    A thread on 245's on golf's:

    Anyone running 245/35/19 on STOCK SUSPENSION? | GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum
