what PCD are the wheels and offset

what youve given is tyre size, and a 65 proile tyre is crazy! even on a 15" wheel standard height that will scrub the arches

LOL @ 65 profile! Sounds like you have tractor tyres!
Scale them down! Although if you are not lowered then they should fit!
Mark 3's had a LOT of arch space from standard!

Well you can run 195/45/15, 195/50/15, 205/45/15 or 205/50/15 without any problems  :smiley:

You need to find out if they are 5x100 even if they are you will need to swap the tyres.

Because the tyres are too big, you will thro the gearing and speedo out plus they will rub.

195/50/15's are the best choice.
