Yeah, I’d avoid 8.5J on a mk8, even ignoring the weird winglets (snowflake EU thing) an 8.5J ET45 will be pushing it on an 8. The arches don’t seem quite as accommodating as those on a mk7 despite it being mostly the same car.
8x19 ET42 to 45 will sit just about right unless you want full gangsta stance.
CMWheels also do Estoril replicas but they have polished faces so I’d worry about that. OEM polished faces can be bad enough.
There’s an amazing looking set of genuine Pretorias in the mk7 classifieds on here. I’d have snapped them up if they’d been advertised a week or two before they went live as they’re not far from me.
