I think if you go 235 your going to have to roll the fender lip or there will be some rub

Stock tire size is 235/45/17... at least it is on my dads B6 w/ sport.
I am running 235/45/17s on my b5, and I wouldn't rub at stock height, but I am lowered, and do rub sometimes.

Leave 235's up to the big boys..j/k..you're still my best friend. I heard sandman used a louisville slugger..don't know if that's true but uhhhhhhh..you..a wood bat, and your car..is not a good mental picture.

If you are lowered, 225 is the widest you can go without rubbing.
Even 235 w/ a mild drop will rub.

If you're going to stay stock height, go 235... if you are going to lower a bit... 235... if you want to lower a lot... might want to stick with a 225.
