They will fit perfect, sitting 12-13mm further out than OE wheels.  :happy2:

cheers i was really starting to struggle, seeing as i only knew the offset&width of the wheels i was looking at and not the steelies sat on the car currently.

 worked out that it would be:    +1mm inside edge  and +13mm outside edge in contrast to an 18" monza



so i am guessing that they would just about fit- depending on tyres?

By my calculations you should have 9mm between rim and arch = PERFICK  :happy2:

Here's some wheels with the same specs. Fronts only as the rears are 17x9. Think the tyres are 215/40/17 altho I think you really should have 225/45/17 to get the correct rolling radius for a golf.

Another set, this time 17x7 ET 45. Tyres are 225/45/17
