Sounds good to me.

My gf and myself will be hitting you up to do our fender rolling.

Cool, if you need it done around the 26th of July you should sign up for the last two spots on the group roll, haha.

sean if you end up doin 15x8 wheel do a 195 50 15 if you dont want much stretch, if you want a little more stretch to them do 195 45 15 and i would either use falken or direzzas.....
direzzas would prolly look good with some stretch to them

falken512 is the king of stretch. although 195 on an 8 is not much stretch at all.

and definately get the fenders rolled before you get tires. or you'll be tempted to put the wheels on that without rolled fenders and camber will not fit

not true, it all depends on the sidewall. From what i was told Jesse (blue mk3) has 205 40s on his schmidt th's that are 8" wide and he has a pretty damn good amount of stretch.

I agree with all of the above statements.

Tire fitment varies a lot based on manufacturer and sidewall height and width. I think some 195/50/15 Falken 512s would be perfect IMO if you want a little bit of stretch and if you want to SLAM your car then get some 195/45/15s.....I still think 16s would be ideal though .
