Deep dish wheels don't fit well on VW's so I will guess 6"-7" is the max.
Stockton Wheel etc that build custom wheels is your best source for good advice as they've seen all these clearance problems before I imagine.
Tire/wheel/stance is our individual engineering projects on our VW's.
You have to measure from the drum surface in to the fenderwell & out to the fender lip.
Buy/run good used pairs of tires cheap to determine the different sizes that fit best.

Thank you! I did talk to a gentle from Stockton wheels and they seem to be a very nice guys because they will make one and will ship them out for me to try them on and we go from there on how they fit.
