Welcome and congrats on the purchase. Great car in arguably the best colour

Having spent 3 years with a mk8 Clubsport following on from a few mk7’s I think I’d go for either 10mm or 12mm spacers on the standard ET50 wheels.
I changed my Clubsport’s wheels to ET45 8x19 which is the equivalent of 5mm spacers, and there was room for a little more without looking a bit tight for clearance. The mk7’s rear arches were cavernous but the mk8’s are more streamlined so you can’t go too wide.
