question about bigger wheels??

Why would you run those sizes? They are 1in overall diameter bigger in the front and 2in in the rear over stock.

A 17x9 should fit but I would probably do a test fit first. You can get a 17x8 and use spacers to get the flush look though since they come in 5mm increments.

I did check with my friend who runs 17x8.5s in the front of his mk3 with no problems but he could not remember the offset. And supraturbo_mk3, you never answer my question. But if you look up on unsprung weight you will find that extra weight on the tire is very undesireable for many reasons.
