true, but the gap from the tread to the wheel arch remains exactly the same, still a big ugly gap!! LOL

Yeah, the Mk4 does ride a bit tall as standard. Bigger wheels take the attention off the tyre-arch gap though to some degree. :)Quote:

after having these wheels on for 4 years the bumps are finally starting to annoy me so i will be going back to standard any time soon.
Handling or comfort isn't the greatest?Quote:

There's a 2-3% increase in rolling diameter, but that'll cancel out the speedo error nicely! :)
you get used to the ride comfort, if you want good looks get 19's..
20's were fine for me.. as long as u dodge the massive pot holes its all sweet.
Wow lots of info and different opinions. thanks everyone some good info to think about. 17 18 or 19......decision time. thanks again
