18"s will fit... not great- but they'll fit

hmm, my 16X7.5 F1 Cups barely fit with Nospeed sport springs. It looks like if it were any lower it'd be hitting the tire when I hit a bump.

18's will fit, but I personally wouldn't recommend it.
Some of the problems you will face will be: uncomfortable ride, slower performance, increased speedo error, higher risk of bending rim, more expensive tires, etc.
Go with a 17" rim and a 205/40/17" tire. It will look just fine on your Mk3!

ex-vorexer LOPES was rollin 18x8's and he was slammed more than the guys on 17's and even 16's.....and he drove it like that ALWAYS. but now the new owner lowered it even more and all it does is rub non stop so the car is a POS. http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif

I will agree with everyone else, when i put my 18s on it slowed me down a lot , i am actally thinking about puttin some 17s on and gettin rid of the 18s

Get some 15" SSR Competition wheels. 8.5 lbs each, can't beat that! and they look real nice too! 16s only weigh like 11.75 lbs each

I wouldn't Recommend 18x18
just a tad too wide

Yep. This was back in 97. No one thought it would work. Car was low too. Just doesn't look like it in the pic. Due to the flares.

wow, yeah, hard to tell cuz of the black on black. Those wheels are kinda neat. Never seen them before. Ever see that picture of the guy with a Honda Civic Hatch sportin 22s? It is sooo damn stupid looking! go to http://www.anti-rice.com and look around the image galleries, I think it's on the 2nd or 3rd section... Looks like he even has a gold plated tow chain with a Honda emblem on it... http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif

225/35/18" , 215/35/18" , what is better?
Re: can 18" wheel fit to golf 3 vr6 (JusuPlus)

They were 18x8 215/35/18 They were really close to rubbing but they didnt.
Re: can 18" wheel fit to golf 3 vr6 (vwtechnician)
