Fit Check - Here's what fits your GTI (MK5,MK6,MK7,MK8)

[@jamesrubio9816]

Looking to pick up the MRK1 XR for my MK8 GTI. Assuming that is offered in the same offset of ET42 as the regular MRK1 18x9, what tire size would you recommend? 245/40 or 255/35?

[@konigwheels]

We recommend going as wide as the wheel allows. Every wheel has an approved safe tire width. But you'll have to remain within the stock rolling diameter. We recommend using a tire calculator or reaching out to one of our dealers for further assistance.

Can i fit 18x8.5 et35 with 235/40r18 on my mk8 lowered with no camber??

[@konigwheels]

unfortunately no, the offset is too aggressive. We would recommend going to at least an et42-45.

@ i figured…. Thank you much

Can I put 235/40/18 tires on an 18x7.5 wheel?

Will a 16" wheel clear the brakes on a MK6?

[@konigwheels]

We do offer 16in options in our mainline wheels that will clear the OE brake set up. If you have a after an market brake system we will have to check the clearances. If you have any further question please let us know.

Are the golf r’s exactly the same for fitment?

[@Eatmykellogs]

I believe they can go slightly wider since they have a different fuel filler neck that allows more space in the rear wheel well. I’d check out apex wheels because they have a great write up of the beside sizes (and tire sizes) to run.

[@tylerw8480]

Golf R here. Can confirm wider is true. 8.5” on mine currently. Mk7.5r

[@Loopsrainforest]

@@Eatmykellogs thank you. That was helpful.
