will need alot of arch work to fit 18's on a mk3. ive got 8j wide on a 16' rim and they fit perfect. imo 18's on a mk3 are too big

I struggled with 17"s and a 70mm drop cannot see 18"s fitting without a lot of work plus they will look too big.

18 is deffo too big. so are most 17's tbh. get some 16x8 or even 16x9's
