Car looks great Joe  :love:

Was running 215s on my 8j 9j setup on the GTI and had no clearance issues with just me in the car  :innocent:

Stance is spot on and that darker wheel colour suits your car perfectly, good job  :happy2:

I got them done. £15 a corner and rolled a bit further when the car went into paint. I probably catched as i ran 8j on 225 and 9j on 225. Swapped to 215s and hardly catch now.

I also believe running 8.5j and 9.5j with tyres on a bit of stretch gives better clearance.

Thanks a lot, I'm considering getting the same coilovers as you due to what you've said about them!

That is a very tidy GT Sport Joe and equally inspiring, you have definitely given me the impetus to add some side skirts, MFSW and a few other ideas.
