Re: Wheel Fitment

Anthony, 

I have those exact wheels in the same offset and i have no problems with 
clearance on my GLX.  I have H&R coilovers on and had Yoko 520 tires, but i 
disliked them alot and now I am running Hancock(Spelling?) Street tires in 
205/40/17.  I really like the look on the VW's.
