Ive got 18's and they catch when going over a speed bump even when the car is empty so I cant see 19's fitting without severe arch mods and like someone else has said will handle like a bucket of ****

Look smart, and if you have rolled/pulled the arches, i cant imagine it being too bad to live with either... need to lose the VW Centres tho

Had 19s on my classic when I bought it - they looked awesome but they were the wrong offset and just caught when on full lock or fully loaded. If they were the correct offset I would have kept them - its the wrong tyre size that causes them to rub not the wheel size, as long as the rolling radius is the same as standard wheel/tyre combos they wont rub!

I have to admit it looks really good. I wouldn't want to accelerate, brake, turn or go over a bump in them though.

looks good in the pic but as others have said not sure on driving it fast,but if you had a set of 18" with the spoke going out to the edge of the rim they look bigger then they really are and gives you the same look as the 19" but u can still drive a little quicker lol.well done on having the ***** 2 have a bash tho mate
