mine are 205, 15, 50's.... on my P Reg gti... but not for long, getting some nice rims shortly... 17's.. sooo.... they'll be 205, 17, 40's
Can you get 18's on mk3s without any modification to arches etc? just a thought :)

No 18"s will not fit without a lot of work plus look way too big on a mk3.

I ran 17"s on mine, you need an offset of et35 with 205/40/17's and you should be ok.

No should look fine, if they do rub on the rear trim the plastic arches down 1st.
