I'm looking to fit 17x9 +35 rims with 255/40/17 tires onto my mk7 gti lowered on VWR springs. How feasible is this?


1. Would I be able to run this set up by just rolling/pulling my fenders?
2. Do I need to run front camber plates?
3. Forget it.


I'm currently running 235/40/18 tires on 18x8 +40 wheels and I have no problems with rubbing. I don't know if running a smaller 245/40/17 would make much difference. I've been using willtheyfit and tiresize to see what the difference would be. Looks like the rim would poke out 17.7mm more and the tire would stick out 15mm more than it already does (will fender rolling/pulling be able to give me this clearance?)


Thanks all!

10mm further out than this. This is also at -2 degrees of camber with 265s though..
