I'm on +10s and +15s (-5 from the ECS kit). I have never rubbed or scraped.
How's your alignment?

Ok, so lowered my car Dec 2015, with maybe 11 or 12k miles on it, i now have 25k when I have my girls in the car that a total of 5 and some times I had 5 adults in the car and no rubbing at all. This is with VWR+ ECS flush kit 15&20 with factory wheels ( Austins)
If you have aftermarket wheels or tires other than stock spec chances are that it will rub

What is the ECS flush mount kit? Is it just a kit of spacers designed to be the perfect fit?
I have Brescias on my GTI, and I have spacers from my S3, (I can't remember what. Maybes 10s and 12s) which I plan to put on the GTI when I lower it (probably VWR).

Lower it, and put spacers on. The engineers at Volkswagen are clue less. And aftermarket companys have your know it all. At least how to pull a bit of money from your wallet.

19" Santiago's running on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. 2Dr '16. ECS front/rear spacers. Car not lowered. Kids r real small, and 9.5% of time it's only me in the car.
No rubbing.
What I have noticed is significantly more road grime/shit being kicked up due to the off or "out"set. Mud flaps are butt ugly. Aside from that, best mod I've made. Car looks far more fluid and streamlined w/ spacers. Not something you truly notice until you've installed them & then your like, WOW car looks way better. I would suspect that lowering/19's/and spacers could/would cause rubbing. But that' a guess. Just measure....ECS has mm dimensions, turn the real & measure the space between tire an wheel well.
