Thanks for reiterating Pat, but i really did have to come back because of inconsistent information. I did say that in my original post and I also am willing to help out as always.

Ok I definitely need something explained to me here.....So the wheels poke like mad, but only to the fender....then they stop poking like mad? Wouldnt that mean they are hella flush like mad???

I'm confused

Eric, u might just want to post up the pic that u showed me of how the wheels look on the mk2. It might clear up some of the confusion and everyone can see how they sit on the car.

No need, I kinda know how 16x8 ET 12 would sit on a MK2. I'm just trolling the inconsistencies of the story

GLWS and next time before you purchase, honestly spend a couple hours looking at pics so you know 100% you'll be happy with the purchase

I new how they would fit. The rims isnt the issue it's the 225 tire, that might clear it up. It bulges on a 8 wide making it poke.

ok in all seriousness here, why not just sell the tires and get some that stretch slightly??? Personally i've always liked the look of those wheels on MK2 jetta's. Depending how low you go, it could sit really nicely!!!

Unless you just dont like the way the wheels look, then yes get another set that makes you happy!

So first of all your wheels poke mad
Then they are hella mad flush
Now you change your story that it is purely the tires which are causing the issue

Seriously Eric, being as nice as i can be, make up your fucking mind here. On vortex you can lie and do whatever you will to get attention, but here we are here to help you and if you keep switching it up you are coming across as very much a retard and somebody who does not know anything.

Ok one last go here... So a 16x8 wheel with a 12 offset will sit some what flush on an mk2, although, with a tire size like 225 they will bulge a bit causing rubbing when lowered as much as WE SPECIFICLY would like. If you are going for the "flush look" these wheels would do ok with a little camber and fender rolling. But Kyle and I would like to see some tuck. 16x8 can easy be tucked but not on a 225, more like 195. So in my research I did not find any pictures of a 225 wheel on an 8 inch wide wheels so I have it a try and bought em, he'll they we're a good deal anyway. After taking them home and putting them on the fitmen was flushish, yet to us was poking, because like I said... The term poking is not a unit of measurement... It is simply my way of saying the wheels don't sit how we want (now remember, that is tucked...in case you have forgot) so all considered a 8 wide wheel with a smaller tire would sit how WE would like where as how they sit now may fulfill the interest of someone else who is looking fr a different fitment. But to US now they "poke"

You do realize that poke refers to the rim, not the tire right?

How you pick sizes is you see how the RIM fits on the car and see if you like how far it sticks out. Then you pick correct tires accordingly. Correct?

No, poke is the farthest part of the rim and or tire. And I bought them as a package..
I can't order specific tires size on kijiji. I bought it for the rims not tires. I was taking a chance with the tries

Thanks guys!

Fitment is in the eyes of the owner.
