think you got it about bang on there, 17s on a mk4 usually require balloonish tyres to fill the arches.

I forgot that bit, you have to go bigger than 17s to go really low otherwise you need a chassis notch. If you don't your passenger side driveshaft will rub on the chassis leg, like my ibiza did. I was as low as I could go on the front of that Ibiza cuz of this. And your subframe will hit the floor, kinda like running a decked mk2 on 13s

no pictures on here.

if i was you though and had a choice of nice 17's or nice 18's or would go for the 18's mate cuz your less likly to get caught out on things.

my subframe scrapes on everything

ive been refused at garages before when going for MOT's. ive been told to take the car away and try somewhere else cuz its too low
