I bought a set shortly after buying my MKIII. I was pleased with the overall look but very displeased with the front offset. I run 245/40's on the front and have rubbing issues at full lock. Also, I personally think they high offset makes them look funny because they sit in so far. I chose to rectify this by purchasing a set of 15mm offset spacers from H&R. This solution worked out very nicely and the wheels sit as 35mm wheel now. They fill in the fender gap and dont look funny at all anymore. I have no rubbing issues anymore at full lock and none under hard compression. I am running H&R springs so I do have a pretty agressive drop. Also, my car wanders a lot less than it used to. I didnt think an offset change would affect suspension geometry that much, but who knows. At any rate, if you buy MKIV wheels, I would suggest at some point to try this mod. If you are weary, go to Pep Boys and buy a cheap set of front spacers to try and see how you like the look. You wont be disappointed, trust me. I personally really like the MKIV wheel look on the MKIII because they are agressive but retain the OEM look. I've always been a proponent of the "Less is More" philosophy so the MKIV wheels are just what I want. This is a post i got off the USA supra forum. These are the 17's but they are the same width and offset so the 16's will fit. Let me know.
