A friend of mine has a Scirocco I with the stock 13" wheels and 205/60 tires
and his car is lowered with lowering springs and Tokico shocks.  There isn't
any rubbing and the fit seems great.  That is the size I would recomend
unless the car is lowered more than 2.5" or so.  Can you still get  the
Yokes?  I thought they stopped maiking them.  Lata,
