It'll fit for sure, but I'd look into a taller tire if I were buying slicks...

Hope you have welded some reinforcements into your rear subframe.....
They break if abused with sticky slicks on a sticky drag strip.

Is this for raid race or drag race. In drag racing you want a taller tire for mOre grip.

stock front Mk4 rims is 17"x8" (50mm offset). I have use it on my Mk3 with 235\45\R17 tyres. No problem.

I thought you were drag racing. Taller tire = more grip, higher mph per gear as well. Downside, they're a bit heavier, but if you have a good amount of power...
