Looks great but isn’t the speedometer off?

I want a nice ride as well as some side wall for the everyday bump in the road. Was thinking of doing 235/45r18 on a 18x8.

I wanna go 19 but don’t wanna bend or crack a rim on something. Also don’t wanna mess with my speedometer.

I agree, for everyday use an 18 might be safer (and maybe a bit more comfortable).
As far as aesthetics go, that's your call, and it might even depend on the rim you choose whether an 18 or 19 looks better.

I remember showing a co-worker a picture of the wife's new Beetle Turbo once (~2012).
He said, "You need to get 19s for it!"
"They are 19s", I replied.
"You need to get 20s for it!"

Nope, exact same overall diameter as the factory 225/45r19 tires. Just wider.

Installed my H&R lowering springs a couple weeks ago. Wheels and tires were put on a couple weeks prior to that.

Wheels are Beyern Damon 19x9.5 et39 in a matte gunmetal/brushed finish. Tires are 255/40r19 Nexen N5000 Platinum. Fitment is perfect IMO. Ride quality is great.

Look at this guy flexing smooth roads and nice weather 😁

Bought these today. These will be a nice upgrade from the 17’s I have. Also wrapping them in 235/45r18 wider and still has a good amount of side wall.

What made you decide to undersized the tire by over a half inch? Why not just use the factory 225/50r18 size?

Taos Wheels, Tires, and Suspension Picture Thread!

Post your pics with specs! Be specific on diameter, width, offsets, spacers, lowered or raised height. OE or Aftermarket.

What type of black wheels does the Taos come with glossy, satin or matte ?

I bought the same wheels hoping to get them on without a suspension modification, but I'm reading there will be a rubbing problem...Can you tell me exactly what suspension mod you did?

Did you ever find out what the suspension mod was? Or what did you end up doing with yours?

SE 18" Rims on an S Model with 225/50/R18 tires. Fills that wheel well perfectly!

I just ordered this color scheme. I love the look. What tint did you have installed. How is the ride doing for you?

Konig 18x8 +43. The shape of the wheels make the look smaller...but honestly, I kinda dig it.

Can we get some specifics about the springs?
Are they much stiffer than the stocks? Uncomfortable?
And how close were you able to get the camber readings?
