HELP! With wheel fitments
« on: April 15, 2014, 10:58:44 pm »
Hi all,

Need to pick your brains as not very good with wheel fitments. I've got a mk5 gti edition 30 with S3 front breaks. Looking to purchase some staggered 3sdm 0.5 wheels 8.5j on front and 9.5j on the back. I'm also lowering the car on coilovers. What will I need in terms of tyres? Will I need spacers? Ect

Thanks Tom

iv got the same wheels and brakes and there is no need in spacers  :happy2:

how low were you planning on lowering it?

heres mine with 215/40 and 225/40 front occasionally rubs on the arch liner backs never rubbed once with camber

I'm on fk silver line coilovers with helpers removed so its probably around 2.5'' drop  :happy2:

id recommend getting your arches rolled otherwise they won't last very long

need to get a notch soon tho axle is catching on big bumps

My guess is it's been accidentally deleted.

It was in the recycle bin.

There are a few missing images maybe you could add some new ones?
