Thank you kindly - so with the wrong drop/tyre these will clearly start to rub/scrape?

My NUE's are 19.8.5 ET45, I have no rubbing issues as yet, arch sits just above the tyre front and back!


When my 20mm spacers are on the rear, then i rub ;)

Excuse what may be a silly question.....but can you use 8.5 or 9.0 and just have the camber adjusted so the tops angle in?

Simple solution as below......or is this just simpy for a show look/style?

im running that exact fitment on my GTI at the moment with the wheels im not selling if your interested  :evilgrin:
theyre totally flush with the arches, if your not lowered they dont rub, when i was on springs they rub very occasionally, like hard cornering on an uneven road... and now im on coilovers and whacked it right down for a show and it scrubs everywhere haha but its silly low... im raising it up tomorrow for normal driving again
overall, they work fine  :happy2:

Should fit fine, I ran the same apart from ET 35 on my BLQ's. However upfront I needed to do the screw mod to stop it rubbing, however you will probably wont come across this problem! (Was on JOM coilovers all the way down.)

DRM92, what's this screw mod you speak of.... Presume it's more than just removing the screw ??
