                if I HAVE to, may need to get the rear guards rolled.
                rears will be fine unless you go for ET<35

                  thanks everyone for your help. ended up getting some 19x8.5 GTCs.

                  Wheels are filthy, but they already look good!



                  Time to install some low I think!

                    Good choice, looks great - will look even better with that drop.

                        Looks great mate. Could you post a picture showing how they line up with the guards as well?

                              The GTC/VMR wheels that suit the VW/Skodas are generally all ET45s I think (both in 18 x 8.5 and 19 x 8.5).. no doubt can be confirmed.

                                Thanks for the compliments, and yes they are 19 x 8.5 ET45. and youre right, Dutch, GTCs are pretty much all ET45 for VAG vehicles in this width.

                                The rubber is a little too stretched for my liking. they are 235 x 35 so ill change for 245 x 35 when I have another $1200 to spend. Probably $1500 as I want continentals.
