rear tyres are way off what you need mate. Just get some 225/40s on there. As for spacers I run 15mm rear with 8mm up front on a set of 18x8s and the faces are pretty much in line with the arch

You had a look to see if they physically fit on the hubs?

not yet as my cars in garage atm with the boot not opening plus getting adjustable suspension and brakes fit lol
was advertised as 5x100 which from what i researched was same fitment as the mk4s they do have audi centre caps atm
the guy i bought that off had a golf mk4 and said he had bought them for his car but then decided he wanted to sell his car
wheels are badly kerbed atm so im going to have a go at refubing before i fit them plus think this put him off putting them on but can never be sure


thanks for the reply ;)

I would check they are 100% 5 x100 as a first step.
