Yes will fit no problem I'm running the exact same wheel spec And  tyre spec on my mk6 gti with out any problems.
One issue I do have tho my car is on h&r springs and I get a little rubbing on the front from the wheel arch.
Seems to be the arch liner and screw which is common problem on these cars, simple fix remove the screw and move the tab out the way.

Really? I'm 18x8 et44 225 40 18 and I'm nowhere near rubbing.

Arches are untouched, no screw mods.

Should also say it only rubs when I come down off a speed bump or hit a ditch.
That is also not driving fast.

I wouldn't be bothered about any slight rubbing when youve gone ever a speed bump ;)

Stig I'm on H&R's with the exact same wheel and tyre spec as you and I get rubbing too on the rear if I have passengers.

I may end up going with the srs tech wings and have the rears flared too match as I want a slightly bigger tyre and a far more aggressive offset (in order for the wheels I want to clear the brakes I have).

The srs tech wings look great wasn't planning on going that far into body work.
I haven't noticed any rubbing on the rear only the front, which I'm guessing the screw mod will fix.
If I start to notice any rubbing on the rear I will either roll the arches or go wrc springs.

Mine has the screw mod and the front is fine!

TBH I doubt I'll go that far especially as my wings are rust free so maybe just a solid roll all round. Either way that'll be a project for the summer.

Sounds like my plans aswell so far.
I will do the screw mod and see how it goes, if rear starts rubbing then I've got two options. :thinking:

I'm also on H&R springs. Mine's a mk5, but a mk6 is pretty much the same thing suspension wise.
