Given the OEM fit of those wheels and the extra clearance on the Mk7 there should be no rub issues at all.



Good to hear, it's useful information for this thread and others looking at similar fitments. You're one of the first, along with Wezza, to post your findings on the lowering issues. Much of the commentary so far has been a bit of guess work and visualisation. Much appreciated.



If it was stock like I'd be all over it.



Our first thread test fit (excluding me balancing a set of Ultraleggeras on reams of paper).. I love it - even if it wasted your time it's good to see.



Congratulations, look forward to seeing these on and some different angles. Great to see the thread helping contribute to a purchasing decision. Must admit I like the design of these and being Borbet they will be decent quality. Assuming as suspected they take the stock VW cap I'd be tempted to keep it OEM looking and do this.
thanks for this thread I would of never even of thought about fitting these borbet's just by looking at them on there own,i did a bit of digging on that R with them on,it's been lowered 25-30mm and has 15mm spacer on the rear and 10mm spacers on the front.i still think they will look good on my standard r though?
