Did a search for work wheels on the big auction site, and these popped up in my city. Just picked 'em up today. Gonna need some serious massaging/widening to fit them under the fenders! Not a big fan of chrome but I'll probably get them refinished in the future with a polished look.

4 used JDM Equip Mesh
F: 18"x9" offset -7(minus seven), R: 18" x 10.5" offset -10(minus 10).
3" DISH(front), and 4.5" DISH(rear)!

Nice! You are going to need more then pulled fenders, you will need something more like this:

The rears are going to be 2" wider then the fender.

I've already got some used JDM massaged/stretched front fenders and the rear will be custom fattened similar to Zooloo's on SF. I never liked the fiberglass widebody kits for the mk3 but I like a fattened stock look like Supranick's.

hey man, Awesome wheels, I have a quick question for you though.........
how do get those to fit without rubbing up on the crossmember. i just bought some mk4 wheels and from searching on this forum i found that i have to adjust the steeirng stops, any ideas on how to do that????

( Sorry man i dont mean to highjack your thread, I just figured you probably know since you bought those wheels)

Thanks man

His are -7mm in the front, yours are probably +50mm, meaning his wheels are 57mm (2.25") outwards from where yours are. For yours you could run a wheel spacer and longer wheel studs.

There's lots of room near the inside of the rim, it's how much they stick out that is the real challenge. It's a real tease having these and not being able to drive with them on until the bodywork is done!
