the wheels you bought will stick out 42mm wider that your original wheels and you will get 4mm extra space against the suspension strut

They are the people who I got a quote from to do the flaring / rolling.
TBH - i dont think they will even rub that bad
I should have them by next weekend - so we shall soon see

Cheers, yeah i had a rough idea from a mate who worked out the offset etc
I had the teledials on the polo - they didnt rub either - i'l need to dig out the size/offset i had on them

You can get away with 8's.
Sorted has such a low offset which is the reason for rubbing. The lower the offset the more problems your going to have.
