yes u will need arch mods! in a large way... either g60 trims and cut the originals away or get some steel arches and weld them in place to widen the standard arches so they sit under....

yeah they won't go on easily with any kind of drop. check out the threads in the mk2 section about arch rolling as knobby is fitting similar sized wheels on his mk2.
9" is pretty feckin wide!

to post pics you need to have them hosted somewhere like www.photobucket.com then select the bottom url link and copy and paste it into a thread. have a look at this link: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2049.0
for more details!
