I just joined the MKVII GTI club! Unfortunately, right before winter. I have some junky snows lying around (wheels are junky, tires are good) that match the center bore and lug pattern. They worked on my Passat TDI (buyback soon), but I'm concerned about rubbing on the GTI.
Stock Austins & tires are 225/40r18 and have about 2.25" of vertical clearance when the car is at rest.
The snows are old TSW Estorils with 225/40r19 tires and about 1.75" of vertical clearance. They also sit out a bit wider (less offset, but I don't know how much). I'll probably hit 'em with a wire wheel and test a paint color on them over before I put them on. Suggestions? Thinking dark grey or bronze.
Can anyone with experience with bigger wheels on a MK7 GTI confirm/deny rubbing?
