it depends on how low you wanna go.. i was running 16x9s all around for a while with a 2" drop with no major issues, but i had stretched tires, they were wrapped w/ 215/40s. the only issue i ever had was with the rear passenger side would rub if i had people in the back seat. even if it was only one person on the driver side back seat it would rub on the passenger side but not on the driver side.. i guess the passenger rear side sticks out more then the other. im not sure if that helps you any since you dont wanna stretch your tires... rolling your fenders would be your best bet... i ended up taking them off and plan on selling them.. i just wasnt low enuff to rock them and i have to many sets of wheels and need to clean out my garage so i can start tearing apart my GTi.

Can't help it but to BUMP this up once more. :D

I'm at lost between the Brocks B2 (not a lot of lip) and the ATS Cup, Polished (mad lip). I'm concerned our brake/rotors/disc may be too wide to fit on the ATS. The ATS curves towards the lip. The B2's wont have that issue.

If the issue above is not even a concern, I would like to go with 15x7 ET of 28 on all fours. I dont want to stick out too much. Running on the stock Goodyear 185/60/15s. According to tirerack the tire can fit 5-7" rim width. Should this be okay?

Hopefully run on 195x60x15 BFG Traction T/A (excellent tire expecially in the rain and snow). I wont need any a spacers to clear the brakes right? Not into the flush look. I corner too hard anyway.

According to Tunershop ad's on VW Vortex, they include the hub rings and lugnuts. Is the hub rings mandatory?

German rims rock! I have to get rid of my BBS RX rims from my Gen4.5Camry.

With the ATS you might need to grind down your front brake caliper a little bit. I did, just a little with 28 offfset and 5mm spacers in the front. You may not need to grind with a lower offset (like 18 offset with 5mm spacers), but you will stick way out beyond the fender. You won't be able to rock these with a high offset look. they just won't fit unless you take off way more of your calipers then I would dare. One other thing to keep in mind is that the 7" do not have as much of a lip as the 8". They still look great though.

thanks for the heads up Minsk99. I guess I'll stick with my other choices.
