What im saying is they will fit... a touch of negative camber and very slight stretch would aid the fitment if the car is lowered..

Plus Camber adjustment on MK5's is very easy to do...

Just options to consider  :happy2:

I can fit a full sized snooker table in my downstairs toilet if i chop it up with a chainsaw.  :wink:

Lol it's all academic anyway now I've got the VZs on order! Some of the nicest wheels have offsets way too low :-(

I had some works on mine 8.5j 45 offset





To get the car at a decent height without rubbing i had to sell my KW V2 coils and buy some clubsports with camber adjust top mounts.  So expensive fix to get the car nice and low and even then i had to raise the front more than i wanted.   :happy2:
