235's
big al:
I had 235 on my rocco alloys, but they did rub like hell at fast cornering, and also when going over most bumps, Though I think it can vary depending on the offset of the wheels.
If others above are running them with no problems though Iwould trust them as they know a lot more than me. :happy2:

Same as al I've put on original roccos 18" 235mm and they rub big time ... Had to higher my front coilies as making a mess of my wing... love the style of wheels and thinking of getting 225 on the fronts to hopefully help .. The rears scrub abit but cause it sits well :grin: I'll suck and see ... Me thinks the offset of 41 doesn't help :stupid:
the bruce:
I did not have 235s yet, but I'm going to have 235/40 semi slicks on my 8x18 BBS VZ.
Unfortunately they have 44 offset. For 235s on a Golf ET50 would be much easier.

Spoke to a garage near to me when I had the rocco's on, and they said even wiith 225's it would still rub a fair bit. Not sure if they were right though,

With 335 F and 320R ride heights (I may go up a little at the back) I have no problems at all with 225's on ET45 8x18's
