Title: Can I put on 235 40 19 from 235 35 19 on a Gti?
Post by: vag12 on April 17, 2013, 01:39:59 am: I was wondering if this is possible to do as recently I have realised with the potholes and bad quality roads all road london my wheels keep getting damage to them causing buckles and wheel parts getting chipped off. I was thinking of maybe going back to 18"s so at least it won't happen again I hope using 40 profile but that's a option and my question being the other is I possible? Probably would look stupid lol
