I’d imagine you’d have to at least roll the front fenders. Possibly the tears too

I don't think so. I was at that height with my ST coils spun all the was down basically with those specs. You should be fine. I have the same fronts and rears are 18x9.5 et40 and have max stock camber to keep the low.

THanks, in actuality it will be 18x8.5 et40 (et41 if i can source a 2mm spacer) with 225/40 tires.Rolled fenders, fender screw mod(Tab flush against fender) and trimmed liners. I plan on running Konig Hypergrams (18x8.5 et43) however, my ST40 bbk lightly grazes inner spokes and the smallest spacer i could find to clear was 3mm.

255/something. Because stretching tires is stupid and not safe.

Newbie forgive me... Fender clearance
Hi all, I've been searching the forum and can't find this answer but I'm looking at getting the following tire/wheels for my 2014 MK6 and I’m concerned about rubbing on the outside fenders. Per tire rack there’s a chance that under load this combo might rub, but it’s so subtle a change and I’m on stock height.
RIMS:
Bremmerkraft BR09
18x8
45mm offset (stock offset is 51mm on VW Serrano wheels)
TIRES:
Continental DRW06
235/40 R18 (stock tires are 225/40 R18 Pirellis)
A tire calculator figured I would be moving the wheel/tire 11mm outward which is about .4” (less than half an inch).
Anyone have experience with this size combo on stock height? Any concern for rubbing? I’ve heard of much more dramatic combos and lowered springs and not having an issue so just checking. THANKS!

I'm running 18x8 42mm offset with 225/40 Michelins at stock height and I get a very slight amount of rubbing on the plastic liner under very heavy braking on a bumpy downhill corner. Apart from that, no issues (even with 4 people + 4 bikes in the car).

Hey guys
Looking to run a set of 5x120 wheels. Specs are 17x8.5 ET 38 up front, 17x9.5 ET51 in the rear. Obviously I have two choices, either adapters or redrill. Wanted to see if the adapters would be the better route. Originally 17x8.5 square they were built slightly wider in the rear. Not sure with adapters they would fit without being too aggressive. Currently on air
Thanks in advance

Adapter thickness is about 15mm, IIRC. The fronts will have an effective offset of 23mm and that's pretty wide for these cars. You'll likely need fender work.
The rears being at an effective 36mm should work out all right.

So redrilling seems to be the way then?
