VW MK3 Caddy Rimmage 6/5

[monte]

Well Keith, the wheels look amazing bud 

They really suit the caddy 

….but I think you are right about the tyres 

Whats the spec of the wheels and tyres? 

Id say 225's if not 235's 

[keith]

Thanks they are Audi TT reps 18" 5x112 fitment

Wow I thought they were 19's 

What tyres are they Keith 215/40/18's ?

The sidewall looks very small.

[keith]

they are 215/35/18

  I think you have got the wrong tyres matey 

I don't know if they should be the same as the mk5 golf but if so, for 18" the tyres should be 225/40/18

I am running 35 tyres on my 19's.

With the 225/35/19 it keeps the rolling measurement nearly the same as the 225/40/18.
(It doesn't throw the speedo out in other words.)

Id try and get some 225/40/18 or if poss 235/40/18, and then sell yours on.

I reckon the van would benefit from the slightly chunkier 235/40/18's

The 2k seems to swallow alloys making them look tiny against flat sides am guessing the 35 profiles add to this effect  yours is coming together tho what setting(hole) is the rear on? Hoping to get kw's on soon

[keith]

Its on the very bottom one. I would like the KW's but uber dear

[Alex678]

Think that is the highest setting recomended for springs and prob best for comfort/carrying stuff. Does yours have much kit in the back just looks quite low in pics imagine on highest hole eek.

[keith]

It has a row of three seats and thats about it. dont carry as much as i used to.

Finally got the 215's off and a set of Falken 225/40/18 on. road noise has dropped and once the steering was aligned alls good. keeping my eye out for a set of front coilovers from the golfs to give more lows at the front. Next is the brakes and finish of the rear seat belts and retrim the interior sides. Paint the rear bumper. list goes on

[keith]

How it looks at the moment also deleting the towbar tomorror

For anyones that wonders what the flip axle means heres a oic of how caddy owners get the caddy lower at the rear. Simply moving the leaf spring from above to below the axle. Cheap FK stuff has beeing doing good as well. worth the £68 for front and backs.

  MILES Better Keith. 

What a difference to the sidewalls 

[keith]

Got the TT Brakes fitted today with some braided hoses no pics as yet as the van and wheels are manky lost the bug. A great mod as the vans braking is so much better now. Once the rear seat belts are finished I am looking at selling and trying to get my bug back(not a beetle by the way)
