My Mercs on my GTI were 18x8.5 et44. Have a look through my old build thread (link in sig).
I ran 12mm spacers on the back towards the end.

That's 18x8.5 et44 all round.
-3 degrees camber at the back.




With 12mm spacers on the back. When it's aired out the wheels tuck in further naturally hence why they're so tucked in the second pic but not the first.
