Title: Do 19 wheels go straight on ?
Post by: DSG-GTI on April 26, 2012, 03:46:47 pm
Hi guys as the title suggests I am looking at replacing my 17 monza's... maybe with some 18" pescaras... Then thought maybe go to some 19s do you have to have a specific ET and tyre size if you go to 19s. The car is a standard 58 GTI.  :wink:    Thanks for any advice.
