Was looking at getting some new wheels for the golf.

My question is............

How much arch work would I need to do to get some wheels of the following size on the rear of my mk3 gti

16"
9 inch wide
et25
215/40/16

It's pretty low as well  :wink:

Okey dokey

Was hoping it would just need the arches rolling

Also sorry if it's a stupid question but whats the difference between rolling and pulling?

Rolling is folding the arches in, pulling is making them wider.
