Dear all I have a mate who is pulling his hair out trying to find the answer to this question.He has a Mk3 Golf VR6 on standard suspension and wants to know if alloys of size 8x17 with an offset of ET35 will fit ?

Yes according to the Rimstyle site:- Size: 17x7.5" PCD/Offset: 5x100 ET35 hope this helps.

17x8 will fit but for the love of god dont fit 17s and leave the suspension standard it will look like a 4x4!

Also consider the adverse affect thet 17s have on the handling to, ive always thought 16s with a healthy suspension drop is far better for handling and looks but each to their own and all that.

Anyone running a Golf VR6 on standard suspension needs their head read anyway.

Haha true it is a tad on the high and soft side with a arch gap that would attract homeless people. I was so shocked the first time i went out in one, felt like the car would roll over going around lanes.

Best mods for any mk3 is lowered suspension, uprated anti roll bars and a bit of negative camber to liven the steering up a bit.
