Mk5 Gti Lowered 10-15mm?

Problem is your tyres they are far too big IMO iv got 18x8.5et48 with a 225/40/18 (tiniest bit of stretch) and they fit perfectly (tuck 3mm more than yours)

My brother ran them on his car with 40ish mm drop and never rubbed with standard arches

If you don't want to change the tyres then you'll have to roll your arches and risk damaging them

Personally I'd change the tyres as they look massive anyway

You could also get some super pro ball joints and add a little bit of negative camber up front to aid with clearance

Nail on head.

Tyres are too big, I'd guess that from the side they'll look silly anyway.

I have H&R springs which drop around 20mm. Ride quality only slightly firmer than standard. I'm running 8x18 Omanyt wheels with 225 40 18 - No rubbing and no gap between arches and tyres. tried Passat Macau 7.5 x 17 with 235 tyres and they rubbed so as suggested before I would recommend changing tyres to 225 or 215 depending on drop.
