Yes loads, even with 215/35's they will catch the front of the beam plus arch mods, not worth the hassle when you consider how badly it will drive.

13's look f**king ridiculous and won't fit over GTI brakes anyway. Even if they did the gearing and speedo will miles out without having to use tractor tyres.

Nope 15" minimum over 280/288mm brakes, with 14" the biggest you can use is 256mm brakes

With 35 profile tyres 18 will fit without work.
