Then after having the car recalled by vw for coilpacks, i got these



but the rear tyres didn't arrive, so it looked like this for 1 night




so i got up early sat and went and collected my rear tyres fitted and it came out looking like this







All comments welcome,

Thanks Martin

More to come

Fronts 18 x 8.5 et 45 (215/35/18)
Rear 18 x 9.5 et 40 (215/40/18)

Hope this helps bud, fronts could do with a 5mm spacer which I got to fit when I take my helpers out to bring the front down more

The rides good, but it's hard, I got it as low as it will go all round and the lock ring out the back

How much you got it lowered at the moment?

Really liking those wheels  :drool: saw a set a while back in a showroom and thought they'd look great on a mk5, deep concave rears look wicked  :drinking:

Looks lovely mate, I think Im getting a set in silver for my ED30.

What are your tyre specs? Im on the same coilovers but running camber on the rear.

Would love a shot of the rear arch and tyre to see clearance.

Thanks!
