Different PCD I'm afraid, Golf's are 5x112 so no good unless you buy adapters..However, the 6R GTI has 17" alloys, so they will fit fine if you can find a set

Ok thanks,
So as long as its 5*100, it will fit.
No issues with clearance.
Can I go up to 225 or is that too wide ?
Cheers

Why would you want to widen the tire? I have 195 on the standard rims and mine has 35mm hr springs on and they would fit on mine I am also running spacers

It all depends on the offset/width combo of your rim...
Ive had 215/25/17's while my car has been lowered 50mm and there were no issues because the wheels were 41 offset and 7j which means they sat inside the arch

I would like to widen it to get a bit more rubber on the floor. It just wheel spins for fun in 1st and a fair bit in 2nd.
215 25 17 sounds good. Low profile that.
The ones i am thinking of getting are 35 offset.
Would that be enough ??

25 profile is a bit foolish to be honest. You should get 215/40 or 205/40
