Never ended up putting them on my 3 mate but the size and offset etc work With the right tyres, won't go anywhere near a 3 with the mk4 tyres. Will be coming to Northampton some time in the next 4 weeks if you want em, if not no worries  :cool:

Wheel arches are larger on Mk4's, even on Mk3.5 Cabrio's.

Mk4's will take 18" wheels with ease and R32's take 19"
