That looks sweet! I think I'm going to stick them back on.

And I have a 3dr

Right i have a 5 door MK3 and it has the arch trims on. I've seen some schmidt alloys on rimstyle.

16" x 7.5J. ET 35 all way round.

For these to fit, do i have to roll the arches?

Nope they will fit fine, use 195/45/16 tyres and you will have no issues.

As above no issues with that, ET is spot on.

Great thats good to hear. What size were your alloys/offset callum? You had alot of messing about to get them on didn't you?

So another thing to add to the list of getting some new wheels

Mine were 16 x 8j ET25, but I am running 15mm spacers on the front to clear the calipers so are ET10. Rolled front arches flat and cambered in and they fit well with no rubbing. On the rear I just cut the lip of the arch off lol.

You shouldn't need to do anything to yours, especially if you get the right sized tyres. 195/40/16 or 195/45/16 should be good on 7.5j.
