fitted my wheels over the weekend and took the kid to school today.
i personally think 8 + 38 front is "very flush" and using 235 tyres may rub the guard if lowered unless u play with camber. 8 + 38 at the back would be perfect.
on 225/40/19, the steering is slightly sharper and ride is still fine with my Tanabe springs. i'm sure stock sussy will be fine. my golf on stock sussy on 225/40/18 was bumpier.
Ok, instead of starting a new thread i thought i'd use this as we are on the topic...
I've just ordered a new set of 20's and was told that the below should be fine
F: 20x8.5 + 40
R: 20x9.0 + 38
Now im thinking maybe i should have gone for 9.5 at the rear however not sure if they will fit (happy to roll guards a little) but dont want to go to crazy
Any input people? Also, what is low disk and high disk? Sorry for a silly questions but i got no idea what they mean when they say that
Also - attached is a pic of the look i am after - any suggestions on what tyre size?
Maybe you can look at my wheels before i put negative camber in my thread. My wheels size is 20x8.5 +35 & 20x9.5 +15 and you can achieve to look like that. I use 225/35/R20 all around. I use Zeetex because it has 340 for the thread wear and it doesn't stretch as much.

Ok, so lets visualise our cars from behind not lowered and with the following setup
1) How much more wider will yours sit out of the guards compared to mine?
2) Should i just get 9.5 width however still stick with +38 (will that still fit)
The easiest way is look at my wheels from behind and your wheels would be 0.25 inch (6.35mm) + 23mm (38-15mm) = 29.35mm sits in compared to my wheels. So my wheels sits out almost 3cm that yours.
Yo Mama has 20x9.5 +35 on the front & 20x10 +38 on the rear. Tyres had to be thin to fir these bad boys, so we 30 profile tyres on the rear & 35 profile on the front. This is what we had to do to meet the tyre placard requirements. (already had drama with the po-po) The front tyres fit alright, whereas the rear are pretty majorly stretched. The fronts, camber wise, are standing straight at 0 degree's, and the rears have a whopping 5 degree's on each side with 4 degree's tow-in.
Hope I haven't confused anyone. lol. Pic attached for your viewing pleasure
Mine didn't used to be. The tyres I had on the rear were too high, I think they were a 35 profile, then it didn't meet the tyre placard, so I got in trouble with the cops.
