Before any mods, i would be looking at 17" so i think they would be no probs?

17's went on mine lowered no probs.

Had to make a big mod though....removed the front mudflaps! 

Reckon 18" would be pretty easy to fit too, would require some minor 'fettling', but would destroy the perfect handling of the mk 3  :smiley:
