    Will the Wheels on my Mk7 fit my Mk 7.5

    Hi...sorry about the weird title.

    My question is I currently have 245 tyres on 19 x 8.5 wheels on my GTI Mk 7 and they fit perfectly, no rubbing issues.

    I have just bought a 2020 Mk 7.5 GTI and I assume there will be no issues with fitment ?

    Does anyone have any intel on whether I will be ok or otherwise ?

    Disregard Hillbilly's post, being an a-hole as usual.

    The wheels will absolutely fit on the 7.5.

    Its the same car, with the only exception being a facelift and other cosmetic updates. All of the suspension/brakes/bodywork is the same as your Mk7 Golf so the wheels should fit without a problem.

    hi mate, are you lowered at all?

    I just ordered 19 x 8.0 ET45 and trying to decide whether to go 225 or 235 tyres. I'm lowered on eibach springs and don't want any rubbing so I think 225 might be safer...
