      IM not sure if GTi's are the same as Jetta's but mine are 8.5'' all the way around and they fit good. The rears come pretty close though. Im thinking you may need spacers.

          ET40 on a 9.0 on the rear will fit fine. I do 8.5's ET35 front and 9.5's ET40 all day long on MKIV's...

            9.5 et 40 ? You are crayzee I don't believe you

            Kidding, bob is the expert so I defer to him, even though I would not have guessed it. I ran 19x 8.5 et 35's and they were close.

                      so i got them mounted and it seems like there is slight vibrations/runbbing when im going slow and only slow when im going 50+ it feels normal?? im thinking maybe 5mm spacers and seeing if that helps any ideas?? ( oh yeah by the way its only the rear wheels)

                            Make sure they are not broken. Balance your tires and also tighten your bolts. If there is a problem spacers won't make it better.
