You can fit an 18x10 with a 255/35/18 with the right offsets

10.5 without stretch probably wouldn't happen

i feel like this trend is going to look as silly in a couple years as baby daytons, spinners, and 20's. oh wait, they already do... seriously. obviously opinions vary, but there are only 5000 R32s out there (fewer now), and it sucks to see them getting their fenders rolled or pulled to fit ridiculous wheels and tires.

You must be new. It's been going on with VWs FAR before it became somewhat mainstream in the car tuning world and will continue to be a part of the Euro community far after the next trend shows up and all the bandwagon people follow that

And a problem with rolling fenders? That has no effect on anything other than allowing clearance and a proper fender roll will look stock from every angle

Well put.

I have 10's on the rear and I am running 255/35/18 tires with very minimal stretch and I have no spacers and no rubbing at all

[Draxus]

I have seen Det. John Kimble's car in person.

It's a spectacular fitment.

[fourwheeldrift]

That DBP that kimble has actually looks pretty good, I must admit. However, I guess I'm just frustrated since I'm looking for an un-molested R. Sure, rolling fenders doesn't hinder performance, obviously. However fenders can't be un-rolled (correct me if I'm wrong). I've rolled fenders before, with good results. I just see the R as a car that I would like to keep to bolt-ons. Like I said, to each their own. And obviously I'm new here...as anyone can see from my info...

Not to sound like an ass here (even though I know I do), if you want an unmolested .:R, either wait until it comes up in the classifieds, or settle for a Golf R. Life's a b!tch...there may be only 5000 .:R's, but they are nearly 10 years old now. Most of these cars have switched owners numerous times, and each owner modifies them to their own taste. It comes time where you need to either settle for the least molested .:R you can find, or simply find love in another rare car.

looks really good. thanks

[rajuncajun37]

I'm running the 255/35R18 tire in the rear as well. I have a 10 mm spacer and it rubs slightly under hard bumps at high speeds. 225/40's in the front with and 255/35's in the rear. Very very little stretch if any.

im sorry, i have to ask. Why do people stagger their wheels in a car that is already prone to understeer?

I mean it would make more sense (to me) to put 10s in the front and 8s in the rear...

I know some people think it "looks" good but to me it just seems incredibly redundant. Sorry if this seems like a rant but i just don't get it.

You answered it. Looks. The rear fenders are far bigger than the front ones so it fills the body out better. Some people care about maximum performance, others like having a car that looks good. Most fall somewhere in-between as many people daily drive their cars. Neither is right or wrong and everyone is entitled to their opinion

[r32dub88]

gotcha. And i 100% agree to each their own and its not my car so its not my choice and all that. I guess im just a 23 year old geezer for owning my mentality of Feeling > Looks and Function > Form.

But you're right to each their own.

I'm older than you (slightly) haha

18x9 and 18x10 in the rear. Nothing done but coilovers and adjustable control arms.

The is the only reason is for looks, that is why I also have these...

Thank you, I appreciate it

...I heard somewhere (here probably) that the whole "stretch" tire thing was because people in Germany were trying to avoid paying higher taxes. They'd put on bigger rims, but the tax was based on the size of the tire, so they would put on one size smaller and pay less tax.

So I guess people saw it and thought it was "euro" and liked it. To each his own I suppose.

I am a function over form kind of guy, and there's no way I'd do anything that goofy. Give me all the rubber on the road I am supposed to have please thanks.

To me, tuners should want to emulate racecars, not low riders.

That is why it is your opinion.

Just because you have a wider tire doesn't necessarily mean it will handle better. Likewise, just because someone has a 'stretched' tire doesn't mean it will handle poorly. Big misconception.

Again, this is an R32, not a Ferrari. Not sure why everyone thinks they are race cars.
