Standard height yes. These wheels are replicas of the VMR710 (18" et47).

My GTI is candy white. Can't remember the color coding.

Wondering what is the sweet spot with width and offset with stock suspension with no chance of rubbing with normal daily driving? Also interested in changing up wheels but not too sure of what is the best balance between width, lower offset and maybe smallest bit of tyre stretch without looking stupid or overly poking out while on stock suspension? Know it is common question but most info available is mostly involving some lowering or coil overs etc.
