I haven't measured it to be fair but I would say around 30mm extra width.

even though you haven't taken any frontals you clearly see them wheels poking out

How are you going to solve any clearance problems??

Correct Danish, the wheels are poking out. However once I have had my full 3way ast suspension fitted with top mounts to pull them back in the arches it will all be sorted! Don't forget I had s3 hubs on my last rocco and these are only 10mm less than the TT hubs, therefore with adjustable top mounts, this will be cured.

Where are you getting the ASTs form Shaun? DO they come with their own top mounts? Im going for the ground control mounts in the very near future

Hi mike, yes the kit comes with adjustable top mounts included. I'm getting them from KPM. You should get quite a bit of adjustment to cure your issues with clearance mike just depend how much you want to sacrifice even wear on the road with your tyres.

The 888s wear fast enough as it is!!!

Ha that is true on the road, however mine is just a track toy now so will have even wear with all the cornering and camber! You want to change from 888 to AO48's mike next time around the tyre wear os a lot better and I find the tyre better all around inho.

Sie cheers, the filter housing is from a mk4 golf 1.8 turbo but has been modified by INA engineering for the mkv.
