So I’m looking to get new rims for my Mk6, with the stock Detroit rims being a 18x7.5 with a 45mm offset. The new ones I want to get https://www.urotuning.com/products/tsw-sebring-18-matte-black are 18x8.5 with a 32mm offset. Will they fit and if not what information do I need in order to calculate the specifics?

That's going to create a lot of poke... meaning they are going to be closer to the fenders. Are you pulling the fenders?
Are you lowered? What tires are you planning on running?

Yea that's probably about .5" past flush. Torga should be here shortly to tell you once he looks lol. The fitment industries has a calculator where you can enter your stock wheel and new wheel for comparisons. I don't like the stance/poke look... I think an 8.5" +45 is about the most aggressive I would want. I'm running the 18x8 +45 and I'm completely fine with it.

True that, I missed that part. All the stock ones are +51 as far as I know

What’s got you confused?
If there’s a rule of thumb for these cars, it’s that 8 inch wide wheels with a 45 mm offset is the easy go-to fitment. If you run a 225 width tire there should be little to no risk of rubbing, and if you do rub it’ll like be fixed with the fender screw mod.
They have a wide selection. I don't know what to go for.

Took some pics before I sold em to this guy. These are Miro 111’s 18x8.5 with a +33 Offset. Rims are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225/45 I believe. He’s lowered, forgot to ask what kinda springs.. Has a slight rub in the inside fender well while at full turn. Slight poke which you can seen in the pictures.
