Ready to race!
Yeah, I am not gonna be able to run these specific wheels if you had problems fitting them with regular brakes. I run 255 width tires and wouldn't want to go narrower than 235... I guess wheels with lips are jist going to remain a pipe dream for me on this car til I get tired if driving it hard, or there are fender flare or widebody oprtions that will allow me to run really wide wheels (9.5-10"+). Just like porn, I can look but not touch
Oh and I like running non reps if possible, and it's more about how I feel about it when it's a mostely cosmetic item. Like I have n9 problem running ebay downpipes or intercoolers if they function well, but I don't like how it feels to run rep show parts like wheels or lug nuts or something like that. Just me. Not based on your opinion about that.
Nice looking Golf. Super clean. Wish I could fit those wheels (well, I could, but not without sacrificing so much that at some point it just stops being worth it).
The wheels clear the brakes no problem, 2.5 and GTI. I had no issues with my brakes though I do not know nor remember the clearance between wheel and brake but I don't remember anything being tight.
You can run 9.5+ on stock body if you have camber arms or roll your rear fenders a bit and let off the height but anything like that you'll have to either reduce your tire size or go to up. Most people run 205/215/225 on 18s on here. Based on your flickr feed seems like you like to drive it a bit harder and are into performance. I do not recommend these wheels for a track unless stock height. You're going to rub yourself to death.
Appreciate the compliments bro!:thumbup::w00t:
