Fitment question

Looking at these sizes: 19x9.5 +12, 19x11 +25

Will it sit flush? I won't be slammed but probably around 1 finger gap. Don't really want to roll the fenders but if its a must i may do it. Whats a good tire set up? Nothing crazy stretched but just right for a daily driver? Sorry for all the questions, i did the whole hell flush look on my MKV GTI and hated driving it as a daily. I want something in the middle where it will be enjoyable to drive and look super clean. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

it'll be flush. I'd run 235/265 for an mild and even stretch. those aren't very popular sizes, so you could run a slightly larger stretch with 225/255, or more meat with 245/275, which would be a very slight stretch.

Here are our V710s in 19x9.5 +22mm/19x11 +25mm with 245/275 tires.







The wheels and tires were pretty flush. Also, the fenders were rolled flat

He didn't ask about stretching....


Definitely roll the fenders on this set up, you'll be cutting it to close to leave them be.

Let me know where you're located and I can find someone for fender work local to you.

Thanks! Im located in Northern California, specifically the East Bay. Is there any way to roll the fenders without pushing the fenders out? I want to be able to sell the car in the future and don't want the buyer complaining about a pushed out fender. Also heres some pictures for fun of my old GTI.






And i def don't want to be this low again, too much of a headache. Just looking to get 1 to 1.5 finger gap all around. Thanks for the help guys.

I don't mean to high jack this thread, but is there anyway you could find a reputable person to roll/cut my fenders? I'm located in central PA.

Fair enough. When he said "nothing crazy stretched" I assumed he either thought he had to run a very small stretch, or wanted to for being flush. - I do realize those offset specs and only being lowered ~1.5" doesn't require stretched tires for proper fitment - just giving tire options.
