will these fit a mk3

i have been offered a set of alloys,17" but 8" wide,what will be the best size tyres,205 or 215 i'm not to keen on the stretched look but i dont want anything rubbing,the car is on standard shocks & springs,but hoping to drop soon only by 30-35mm.

 

It depends on the offset, but 8x17 is pushing it a bit on standard arches unless you run it exceedingly high! You may well need to do at least a bit of rolling on the back arches.

205/40/17 at most- though if you don't mind a bit of stretch a 195 will reduce rubbing issues.

 

If you go with 195s be very carefull with curbs? kerbs? Footpaths.

 

the offset is 35,will the 205's look stretched,i'm not realy into that [:^(]
