Signs point to yes.


...but the 20 offset makes me wonder. if they don't fit you could always grab some spacers though. If they do fit then my 11" rims might not look too gay with a +45!

Well those wheels make me want to spunk!

and it looks like a good price considering the tires as well. Yeah I was concerned about the offset, maybe hit on the inside under full turn? I hate the idea of running spacers.

using the tire size calculator that are actually very close in height, circumference and diameter (2.82% differrence) they are just 2 inches wider overall in the rear.

up front they are less than 1 inch wider up front but 3.35% taller overall

I think those would look sick on a MK3!

I´m not too shure about that...

I had 16x9 with a +15 offset and they stuck out in the back.

I mean I have 18x9.5 +45 now And that is a tight fit!

And you can not use spacers on wheels that are to little offset. That would just put them further out.

Just my 2...

IMO, It would be close up front, but close enough that rolling would take care of any problems. If this info helps any: I'm running 17x9 27mm offset up front and I rub a little on the fender so I will have to roll'em soon.

Spacers would make things worse, like if he got 5mm spacers he would now have a 15mm offset :aigo:

Ok, I did a quick measuering job for you. Up front the 8.5" w/20mm offset will put the outer lip the same distance away from hub as my 9" w/27mm. Here is a pic I did and it is all to scale.
