    Will Velos wheels fit a GTI?

    Hi everyone, I just bought a 2008 GTI and am looking to replace the heavily scratched Denver wheels on it.
    I like the look of VW Velos wheels (off a Passat / Eos), but am not sure if they will fit my GTI correctly.
    I understand that Denver are 225/45-17 and 7" wide with a 51mm offset, whilst the Velos are 235/40-18 and 8" wide with a 44mm offset.
    Can anyone please assist?

    PS - I also like the Zolder style off the R32 which I’m sure will fit fine, but haven't seen many around second hand...

    I have that spec on my GTi - (R36 rims, not the Velos), but I run mine with a 225/40 R18 tyres (rims are also 18x8 ET44) rather than the 235. The 225 are stretched a bit on there, but sit very nicely - the guys at the tyre place reckoned that they sat perfectly. Do tend to kick up a lot more road grime because of the stance though, but I think it's worth it.

      Thanks 99_FGT,
      i assume that the extra 10mm on a 235 tyre wont make much of a difference...
      Nice wheels by the way...
