The wheels diamter is not so important here. You need to know the wheel width and offset.

I have seen width wise 8.5 and 9, but different offsets 35 and 42. Would the wider the wheel the less offset needed?

Not necessarily, the wider the wheel then more thought is require to make sure it doesn't foul the suspension on the inside and the wheel arch on the outside and also ensuring it clears the brake calipers. Bit of a balancing act. But I think 9inch wide is fine as long as offset is right. I'm afraid I'm not that familiar with the standard offsets to be able to advise the best offset.

@RivieraRS3:

If you use that website above, as the Weatherman says, you also need to measure how much scope to increase the poke from your existing to the outer arch (Poke), and how much potential to increase the width on the inside rim to the inner arch or struts etc (inset).

Are 19" or 20"?
The width and offset would be useful too so people can start to get an idea of what will or won't fit.
PS looks good, more photos would ne nice as it's hard to see with the wheels being so dark.

Hi mate
Can you please confirm Width and Offset that you went with ? Are you also running 235's all round?
Thanks in advance.
For others following this thread the standard wheel is 19 x 8 ET 49 unless you are running the 255 front set up like me which runs a 19 x 8.5 ET 53 at the front. Staggered set up is quite a pain to try get wheels of different offsets...

Similar. Look more like the old Ronal Turbos to me. But these are made by Pokal, a company in California. The more i see them the more i like them.
Not sure if the white would suit the orange though!

I really want to see some white wheels on a black car! Those Pokals look good!
White looked great on the pre-S1, A1 quattro 👍🏼
