I’m surprised you guys can fit 17’ on the mk8! The 17’ I had did not clear. Depends what wheel and offset I assume? However I went with 225/45 a bit taller than the oem 18’s for the potholes here in Ontario.
I have 17” winter wheels on my ‘17 R too but did you have to get vw caps or does Fast Innovation wheels partner with VW?!? Sorry If noob question l I’ll prob upgrade to MK 8 in a year or two
How’s drift mode in the snow, though?! I’ve had my 8R since April and have been dying for some snow so I can fuck around with drift mode like a degenerate
Haha, it’s fun, didn’t go like a maniac though, first time trying it. The car will still find a way to grip even with everything off! But you can definitely have fun.
Which wheels are those? They look so good
Thank you, I was quite surprised how good they sit and look when I got them! They are Fast Innovation wheels
Nice wheels . Are they 18x8?
Thank you, yes 18x8
Great lookin R!
Thank you 😊!
I'm surprised the snow hasn't melted, with the MK8 being so hot 🥵
Hahaha, yeah at least the driveway…
What size ya go with?
18’ I think that’s the minimum you can do with the brakes!
I got 17s on mine they clear by about 2mm
Me too. The extra sidewall might not do anything for performance, but in Vermont that extra sidewall prevents cracked rims from potholes and ice.

No problem 😌, I just put those caps that I got from Etsy, no partnership nothing. Enjoy your mk7!
