Let me just start out by saying I'm a fitment noob... however, recently a set of wheels with rather aggressive fitment have been offered to me for a good price- 18x9 ET30 on 215/35/R18 tires. From what I understand this is doable on a mk6 gti especially with that kind of stretch on the tires.
I'm seriously considering getting them but I have a few concerns. First off, will I have to roll my fenders that much? I've never rolled/pulled fenders before and I was wondering if it's too challenging of a task to do myself (especially for a first timer). Second, I'm worried about the front wheels rubbing (or rear ones) as I understand that is quite wide for the front . I'm currently on stock height but I'll probably pick up a set of raceland coilovers and drop it a few inches if I get the wheels. Third, I'm wondering how much camber I'll need but I'd also like to keep the amount of camber to a minimum. Finally, I was wondering if I could get away with not having to pull the rear fenders because quarter panels are seriously something I'd hate to mess up.
So should or can I do it? I'm pretty sure it would work but I always err on the side of caution and figured I needed some good advice. Also, anyone else running a similar setup? Thanks.
