205/40/17? Or that would possibly give you a bit of stretch on a 8J rim, so I would say 215/40/17

You can go for a higher profile, it's up to you

Mmm... I hadn't thought about having a bit of stretch actually.

I'd only want a little bit though.

them wheels are 5x112 fitment and you would need adaptors to fit them..for reference the golf is 5x100

205/40/17's plus you will need adaptors.

Yeah, mines even worse at 4x100... they don't make adapters.

I'd have to convert the hubs to 5x100 then buy 5x112 adapters.

Is it worth it.

I am liking those wheels...

Is there anything similar in a 4 stud?

Or would that look rubbish?

I like them wheels, stick some 165/40/17's on them

They would look

on a Golf...Even for an Audi they're so so...

And I didn't realize they were 5x112. Definitely not worth the hassle.
