No would think you will struggle unless you work the arches, I ran 205/40/17's for a while and they caught the arch.

Yes they are on but look how tight the rear wheel is, going to catch big time.

Also et13 front and et20 rear could cause issues with how it drives, I was running et35 and had problems with tramlining etc.

They should be on a mk4 as I have seen loads running 10x17's on the back.
