you need spacers on the back to clear the centre cap vs bearing dome cap otherwise direct fit

What Boney said or mod the centre caps with a hammer if possible + Mk4 tyre profile looks gash on a Mk3 and may rub if your low also will put your speedo out. Need to compensate for 16" rim with your tyre choice :smiley:

You will need to switch the tyres to 205/45/16's but they do llok good on a mk3.

215/40/16s look nicer :)

195/45/16 or 205/45/16 are good choices also 215/40/16 which was standard size on the Anni's

I believe about 6mm (3mm a side) although you can go up to 12mm (6mm a side for better looks)

Unless you know somebody that has fitted this wheel/tyre combination you need to do a bit of measuring. Offer the wheel up and see where it catches/rubs then make some temporary spacers (washers etc from a DIY store) and find out how far you have to go before everything rotates smoothly.

It's best doing stuff like this with new pads in the front as the caliper may move outwards when you fit new ones.
