need help with tires
so I have a lowering kit for my audi tt. I like the way it sits but it kind of still has a gap. Right now I have 225/45/17 gforce kdw's Y rated which are awsome tires. These are worn out after 20k so Im looking for new tires. Can I go with a 235/50/17 to fill that gap? Also the camber is off and I need to get it fixed but I also want to have spacers. My delima is when I put the spacers on and get the camber fixed(ecstuning camber kit) will the 235/50/17's fit?

They will be 15mm taller. Use this calc to find what size would fit you best

keep in mind, changing your tire size like that is also changing how your speedo reads. Go with a bigger rolling radius, and you'll know why the cops are hassling you for speeding more. You'll be going faster than your gauge says you are.

With Vagcom, and the exact process I don't know, or, just buy the right tires.
I forgot to add, changing your speedo isn't the only difference you'll see. You'll also be changing your odometer reading, and that's permanent.
