I ran 8.5 x 18 et25 on my mk2 with no issues but it all depends on tyre size and how low you are. I was low so 225/40's where a no go, started off on 215/35 but swapped to 205/40's which were a lot better. 

Then moved up to 19's 9j front 10j rear et 30/33 with 215/35 & 225/35's which were a nightmare

 

The lower the et the further out they'll sit.

This is a great site
