19 Inch VW Helios
I am looking at putting a set of 19 inch Helios on my Mk4 GTi...
What do you guys think, and most importantly, would they fit?

Yebo. Someone posted a pic with a 6R owner that was selling a set with tyres for R10k. Think the guy realised that the 19'werent gonna allow him to turn his car.SHAUN wrote:in 19"?Mitch wrote:You can get reps in 5/100.SHAUN wrote:Either going to have to run adapters or redrill wheels.

Re: 19 Inch VW Helios
Yeah, hard to beat the value for OEM rims, and I really love the look of them, only thing putting me off currently is cost of new tyres, and not being sure on the rubbing issue.ruan9n wrote:I'm beginning to warm up to the idea of helios on my mk6.

Re: 19 Inch VW Helios
what is the recommended tyre size with Helio rims on a Golf 6 with H&R 35mm drop?
everybody says 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 with rubbing and no rubbing.
the 225/35/19 tyre profile is too low profile for my liking.
235/35/19 tyre looks comfortable,but will probably have to roll the fenders.

Re: 19 Inch VW Helios
225/35/19 is a closer match to the original diameter of the stock GTi wheels and tyres. Not sure if the 1.4TSi has the same total diameter wheel and tyre though. As you say, more chance or rubbing with 235/35s

Re: 19 Inch VW Helios
the tyre sidewall of each tyre brand is different, some are smaller or bigger in profile size. This also plays a factor in choosing the tyre size.
from what i have seen 225/35/19 yokohama s drive have a nice think side wall compared to archilles tyres.

Re: 19 Inch VW Helios
I think the 225/35/19 is a bit of a stretch for the Helio. When i got mine, i put on 225's on the front. Looked good, but was paranoid. 235 is the best for this rim
