Yes, they will fit spot on.
-
Yes will fit no problem I'm running the exact same wheel spec And tyre spec on my mk6 gti with out any problems.
One issue I do have tho my car is on h&r springs and I get a little rubbing on the front from the wheel arch.
Seems to be the arch liner and screw which is common problem on these cars, simple fix remove the screw and move the tab out the way.

Really? I'm 18x8 et44 225 40 18 and I'm nowhere near rubbing.
Arches are untouched, no screw mods.

So why am I running I'm on h&r springs with et45 18x8inch 225 40 18 tyres.
Oz ultraleggeria wheels.
Is mk6 different to the mk5 wheel arch.

Should also say it only rubs when I come down off a speed bump or hit a ditch.
That is also not driving fast.

I wouldn't be bothered about any slight rubbing when youve gone ever a speed bump ;)

Stig I'm on H&R's with the exact same wheel and tyre spec as you and I get rubbing too on the rear if I have passengers.
I may end up going with the srs tech wings and have the rears flared too match as I want a slightly bigger tyre and a far more aggressive offset (in order for the wheels I want to clear the brakes I have).

The srs tech wings look great wasn't planning on going that far into body work.
I haven't noticed any rubbing on the rear only the front, which I'm guessing the screw mod will fix.
If I start to notice any rubbing on the rear I will either roll the arches or go wrc springs.

Mine doesn't rub but then I have not gone for really low Springs!

Mine has the screw mod and the front is fine!
TBH I doubt I'll go that far especially as my wings are rust free so maybe just a solid roll all round. Either way that'll be a project for the summer.

Sounds like my plans aswell so far.
I will do the screw mod and see how it goes, if rear starts rubbing then I've got two options. :thinking:

I'm also on H&R springs. Mine's a mk5, but a mk6 is pretty much the same thing suspension wise.

Yes agree ajp weird ain't it. I'm pretty sure screw mod will sort it.
Start with the simple solutions.

Yeah it will help. I suppose if you're not looking to go lower in the future it's a bit of a non-issue (assuming there's no underlying problem and the geometry is correct).
I'm personally wanting to go 20-30mm further down with coilovers in a few weeks. If I was catching now, I'd be a bit hesitant to go lower.

Cars healthy been to Alex (aks) had anti roll bars fitted adjustable ball joints, alloy wishbones with bushes and the springs and new top mounts. Is going back in feb for full service, dsg service new coil packs and sub frame mount.
Also when I had the suspension mods done previously Alex also set up the tracking for fast road use.

Your alloy wishbones and ball joints may well be sitting the wheels in a different position in the arch than OEM parts could. I know the TT arms give an extra 20mm of track. So that alone would make sense as to why you're rubbing!
I'd imagine Alex has dialled in some nice geometry with those bits.
Nothing to lose sleep over then I'd say mate. Onwards!
