Wheel Fitment - VW Noob Question - MK3 Golf

[Ben J]

16x8 is prety big up the front... my standard 6.5 with 205/50 only just miss the coilovers, and rub on the gaurds (which are rolled flat...) when i turn, albeit im an inch off the ground... still theres no way an 8 inch wheel is going to not poke up front atleast a little. Still soon ill hopefully have something 16x8 with a 195/40 or 45 tyres and atleast 9 in the back soon enough

A mate runs 16x8 ET30 Schmidt Spacelines on H&R coilovers and he doesn't rub up front, but does on the rears. No arch rolling done. With arch rolling and a 195/45 tyre, they won't rub.

Listen to this man ffs

16x8 ET30 or 16x7 ET20 is probably the direction i will head in...

if you guys reckon a 195 wont rub with stock guards that is also a plus...

might need to fold the lips, depends on your ride height though. No biggy though.
