Need help on 9N wheel fitment

Will 17x7.5 ET30 wheels fit into the 9N front wheel wells without rubbing or sticking out? Anyone has photos to show?
Also will they be fine when lowered 35mm?
Would anyone shed me some light? Thanks a million.

Hard to say really, an ET of 30 will stick out quite a bit so its pretty hard to say. Standard ET is 43, moles is 38 with his 17 inch Audi wheels, ET35 is the minimum i'd go with a 30 mil drop.
The drop will be fine but the wheel offset worries me slightly
You might have to be prepared for some scraping

This person at Polo9n.com has Moles Audi wheels (ET38) with 5 mil spacers front and rear (so ET33). Looks VERY close

Thanks a lot mate.
I am by no means good at the technical side, so glad to gain help here in this forum. So, from what you said... I will be safe if I get a shop to shave 5mm off the hub, is that correct?
And will the rears be just fine or should I do it once and for all?
