I'm sure you've seen this one before, but try: Tyrestretch.com

hahahaha, thats awesome, just burned 10 mins checking out some of the ridiculous ones. It looks like 235/245 is the right fit for 9". I would rather lower it after the wheels and tyres are fitted and then see how much of a monster truck it looks like and work it from there.

There is some pretty crazy stuff on there but it's a useful guide/resource.

Even after market 18s with a fairly conservative fitment can start to look a touch odd on the GTI (over time I felt mine needed a touch more lows to finish the look), but I think it comes down to the style of wheel.

Look forward to what you end up with..

Hopefully, I can find better quality but that's the style I like with some dish. These are too cheap so I assume not the best quality. Also thinking of getting them powder coated in matte black as my golf is white with dark tints and black tail lights as well, so would like to continue the theme of white on black.

Do they do a 5 x 112 fitment?

I know Enkei do - and some of the other Jap wheels like Rays. They also then do a friendlier offset for the Euros.
