10.5 should have a 285-305 on it, but to each his own. The car looks great and I am glad that someone who truly cares bought it.

I hear you and thanks Steve.
New tires are in the future plans but just wanted to wear these out first since hardly had any wear on them.
Future Plans for tires are 255/35/18 in the front and 295/35/18 in the rears, if those don't fit then I'll go with 245/40/18 in the front and 285/35/18 for the rears.
+18 for the rear and +16 for the front offsets are too aggressive for a MKIV especially with a 10.5" rim on the rear. Using anything wider than 275 tires with those offset will force you to roll / cut the lips of those fenders or even pull them .

They were rolled flat this morning Gerry.
Also, test drove it yesterday before the height was adjusted again and had zero issues. No rubbing whatsoever.
But to be safe I had the 4 fenders rolled flat today.
Nice ... if you can fit the 295 now or at least 285, better.
Those 275 are definitely a tad stretched. Here you can clearly see . The outer / threaded surface part of the tires are smaller than the actual width of the wheels that is why they look stretched.

Gerry, The wheels and tires in this pic on the SC are not the same wheels that were on there before. Don't know what tire sizes he is on now.
With a rolled fender you should be able to fit 295s . I have 295 on the Old Man Tan with just cut fender lips. And with a cut / pulled fender I am able to fit in 325 just like on my Red Mamba One
