BBS CH-R 19x8.5 +48 specs

The wheels are 19-inch in diameter and 8.5 inches wide with a +48 offset, in the 5x112 bolt pattern the Volkswagen GTI uses.

A +48 offset on a 8.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a conservative, factory-like position. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

BBS CH-R 19x8.5 +48 on a Volkswagen GTI is a common GTI question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

235/35R19 tires on 19x8.5 wheels

The tire size is 235/35R19: a 235 mm section width with a 35 aspect ratio on the 19-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

We stock Lexani LX-TWENTY 235/35R19 at $97 each in 235/35R19, and more 235/35R19 tires through the tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

This Volkswagen GTI is on stock suspension, so the ride height is factory and the fitment you see here works without lowering the car.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, no fender work. That means the setup fits as-is, which is what most owners want to know before they buy.

Stance: tucked. The wheels sit inside the fender line. Flush fitment on a Volkswagen GTI comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
