19” Tyre Recommendations

Hi All, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
One other questions, does anyone know the stock VW steel wheel spec for a 6.1 T28 4Motion? (My new van is currently at a detailers having paint protection applied so I can't access it). I know the current tyre size is 215/60/17, but I don't know the offset, any ideas? I can then get a better idea of different offsets on www.willtheyfit.com
My detailer sent me some pics mid way through the prep work and you can see the wheels - just!!

The speedo is out by 1mph now.
When it reads 60mph my gps says I'm doing 61mph.
The next size I will go for will be 275/40r19 which will bring the rolling radius down slightly.
I think 255 wide is perfect for 8.5" rims and 265/275 suit 9".
Its sitting -40mm H&R springs and Koni active dampers.
Wheels are 19"x9" ATS with et48 offset and have 265/45r19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3 on.
It’s getting close to that time for new tyres, I currently have 255/45/19 dataturn mozzo sports (on the wheels when I bought them).
I see that a 275/40/19 seems a popular choice, and maybe I should just go with that......but I have found that there are correct load rated (t32) tyres in a 285/35/19 size. I just fancy something with a bit less sidewall I suppose.
A change from gold to dark bronze as soon as the powder coasters start working again too.
I plan on lowering as close to 100mm as I can either with bluebird or stance ultras (another dilemma). I was going to go for the h&r/koni solution, but with all the lockdown going on, I can’t really stretch that far at the moment.
As always, any advice gratefully received
TIA

What width are your rims, as 285 is very wide
You can get away with a 275 on a 9", but unless the 19's are 9.5 wide then a 285 is too wide, Id be going with a 255/45 or 275/40
Our preferred tyre is Goodyear F1 - They last very well and are quiet
I’m looking for some advice from people who have run 19 inch wheels and what tyres you have all run.. I’m looking for A square shoulder for the cantera and stretch on a 19
the wheels are:
19 inch banded steels 9 front 9.5 back
19 inch cantera I think they are 8 wide and 45 offset.
mine tried will they fit but can’t seem to get what I’m looking for.. just need the advice from people who have actually ran different tyres.

I believe you will have to go un weight-rated to work with the solows
I’m still keeping them but the SoLow’s are coming off in a months time.
Been here done the lot stuck with 235 50 r19. Nice ride. Stops curbing the alloys. 
Good morning,I have decided to go with some new 19 inch wheels on my new van,it currently has the standard 16 on.
Can someone advise me on which tyre size will be best as not to effect the speedometer.
I have been on the will they fit page but being completely new to it all I have no idea about offsets etc,any help would be greatly appreciated
