18" VRM V710 wheels on 90TSI - Would they fit?

[Paul_OH]

For the record, WA states that up to 1" wider than standard up to 8" - thus making 8.5" illegal here even though the factory wheels were 7.5". It made me wonder when I checked it out at the time though what happens to say Porsche drivers for example who want a wider wheel than standard when the standard ones are 9 or 10"?
I'm running the VMR V708s in 18x8.5 and have let my insurance company know (Shannons) and they were fine with it. However we don't have regular vehicle inspections in WA, only if you get a defect notice.

The Mk6 GTI should have 7.5" wheels so according to the Vic Roads info 8.5" would be within their requirements of up to 1" wider than the vehicle series.

VW offers Alloy Wheels (Topas) 18 x 7½” for the 90TSI so you should be okay with the new V710's since they are 18" as well.
The width shouldn't be a problem as its only 1" extra.

BEST NEWS EVER!

Thanks team_v and thanks guys, its amazing the amount of valuable information there is around the community and how helpful everyone is, really can't thank you all enough.

I apologize for not posting in the wheels, tires and suspension section of the forum, I thought about it but thought since my question is specific to an MK6 would do it here. (Forum master if you feel like moving my post to the relevant section, go for it!!)

No problems.
The best part about the VAG Family is the community effort.
Everyone is willing to lend a hand.

According to the VIC Roads guidlies you should be fine with 18 x 8.5's.
Can't wait to see pics of them on your ride when you get it.
