would be better if you put 185 45 16's on. would fit better.
thats the stretch i have on my jetta as the wheels poke and it gives my good clearance and is a very safe stretch  :wink:

Thought yours were 15's?

yeah they are but makes no diferance really 185 45,s will be the same stretch my wheels are 8j aswell

You could also grind some metal off your calipers. Obviously it depends where they are catching and how much, you can't go to town and chop off chunks but you can sometimes get the wheels to clear by taking tiny amounts off, just smoothing the casting can sometimes help.
