    I run 17" x 7"s with 205/40/17 tread, no issues unless considerably lowered or spaced out. Offset is fairly high though, may rub on your struts without some form of small spacer.

      those would look schweet on a vr6! high enough offset to fit spacers too H&R make spacers from porsche to any vw fitment.

        20mm spacers front and back and they would look damn tidy!

                      5x100 - 5x130 adapters should be OK.

                      Fronts should fit easy. Adapters less than 30mm thick on the front should still tuck. I'd use 25mm on the front.

                      Rears might be a little trickier - 20-25mm adapters should keep it tucked in or at least flush with the fender, but I wouldn't be sure when it comes to suspension clearance. 30mm or thicker adapters will start poking it out (30mm will get it looking similar to how my steelies sit).

                      205/40R17 both front and back and you should get adequate clearance. I wouldn't go larger.

                      Nice find on the wheels by the way! Sick wheels.
