    2012 Vdub Jetta Gli, 6-speed manual, "track edition" (base, no options, haha)
    04-11-2012 11:31 AM #1
    was wondering what the specifications on the stock 17" rims are.

    considering 18-19's, and I see people running 8-8.5" wide with various offsets, but needed to know the offset stock so i could figure out what size i'm gonna run (no clue about their rub issues).
    If anyone knows if a 18x8-8.5/ 19x8-8.5 with +45 will fit, that is even better info.

    With that et on the 18/19's you are looking to get will work just fine.

    You going to lower this car at all?

    i wasnt planning on lowering it (it's the gli, so slightly lower than normal as is), i know alot of people here think they ride high, but i dont mind it too much. havent seen any 18-19's on stock height though, so maybe i'm wrong..? (happens alot)

    also, was looking at audi reps.. heard bad things about buying reps, is this a bad move? (they're not a high dollar brand like hartmann)

    thanks for the quick reply

    You will be more than fine with those.

    Run a 225/40.
