19x8.5 et48
either 225 or 235 35 19 depending on how low you are going :happy2:
-
I think CH's come in 19x8 et 50 so a 225/35/19 would be fine, personally id space them 5/6mm for better fitment :happy2:

for some reason i thought it was ch-r's :laugh:

BBS CH in 19s for the golf will be in 2 sizes for genuine wheels.
CH026 19x8 ET50
CH009 19x8.5 ET35
In my opinion the 026 are the ones to go for. 8.5 width with ET35 will give you potential rubbing issues when lowered. Also I don't like the look when the wheels are so far out.
Ive got the CH026 and with 225/35/19 tyres mine is fine.
Check my build thread for more pics.

That's looks spot on Jedi :congrats:
Although different wheels I chose 8s over 8.5s on mine for the same reason and very glad I did

Got any pic mate?

Same as Jedi I went for the 8s over the 8.5s as my previous wheels, pro race 1.2s, were also 8s and didn't wanna mess about raising the car as I've got it exactly how I want it :happy2:
