Hey guys, looking to purchase these Rotiform LAS-R 19x8.5 with +35 offset

looking for advise on what tires you guys think i should run them with.

EDIT: looks like OEM 19" is 235/55-19 FRONT and 255/50/19 REAR

can i run both of the front&rear in 255/50/19 without any rubbing issues? I'm also looking to lower the ID4 on H&R springs

Kyle did a range test in an ID.4 with lowering springs. I would suggest you watch that before making a purchase. The idea of the test was to see if lowering the car would help the max range or not. He called it a draw when compared to the car with the stock springs, but my take on his numbers was that lowering the car actually hurt range just a bit . . . . and Kyle didn't care for the bumpy ride either

But, you gotta make sacrifices to look . . . . COOL

Also, keep in mind that one day . . . . you're gonna be selling or trading in this car and the hit in resale value will be lots more than the cost of installing lowering springs

I considered lowering my 2013 allroad after seeing one so-lowered at a show. It did look ..... COOL

However then the more practical side of my brain considered one of the appeals of the allroad was some add'l road clearance (8.1") for light off-road and Winter driving. And also your cited cost-benefit-resale consideration. Same goes for the ID.4 imho, especially if not local very smooth roads.

You can use either aluminum or plastic hub-centric rings. Apply a generous amount of anti-seize compound on the hub flange to prevent hub-centric rings from seizing onto the hub. Also, apply a generous amount of the anti-seize compound on the back of the wheel mounting contact face for easy dismounting.

What he said.


I've used both in the past, with anti seize. Sometimes stuff happens and the aluminum ones are less forgiving than plastic. And worst case, you break the plastic one, it's cheaper to replace.
