N3DXT 0 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I ran 6 x 16 design 90's on the front of mine with 288 brakes, offset was 55 reduced to 30 with spacers, no problems, just looked a bit lost in the arch for my liking Link to post Share on other sites
jamieVR6 0 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I know what you mean, but i'm considering slamming it on coilovers & i think with them polished up on a slammed black golf they'll look great.BTW where did you get your spacers from?[ Edited Wed Jun 09 2004, 08:56PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Tommy what tyres do you have on the RH's now? Also think Advance Autosport Tech do adapters at around £130, was i n the PVW mag about a month or two ago.[ Edited Wed Jun 09 2004, 10:03PM ] Link to post Share on other sites

Geastb 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I've got 6.5x16 on mine and had to grind about 3mm off the caliper to get them to fit. they do look a little bit lost under the arches but i don't get any rubbing at all And it been lowered! Just got to fit my FK's next! Link to post Share on other sites
jamieVR6 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Geastb, what tyres are you running? I was thinking of 195/45/16 on the 6x16's & 215/45/16 on the 8x16's. Does this sound about right? Link to post Share on other sites

jamieVR6 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 So would i be better off with 205/45/16's on the rears then? If it still catches the rear arches after they have been rolled i'll take the back seats out, then my mates will have to get taxi's! lol Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yeah got the same tyres and was told to switch to 205's but am too skint esp after geting the FK coilovers. How you find the ride? Link to post Share on other sites

I know how you feel.....just got the wheels and cant afford to put 205s on until the end of the month ~ ....just had 5mm taken off the rear hub adapters which has improved the arch lip clearance no end but still a problem on a very bumpy road [ Edited Thu Jun 10 2004, 09:18PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
N3DXT 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I got my first set of adaptors from ebay uk, they were machined ones and took 3 months of fighting with the guy to get him to finish making them, half way through I thought I was never going to get them and bought another set from ebay germany, these were the 25mm H&R jobs, I ran these all round initially, whilst trying out various connotations of 6",7" and 8" wheels, have now settled for 7's at the front and 8's at the rear, but due to rubbing at the rear (lowered about 70mm) I changed the rear adaptors to the machined set (which had finally turned up) as these were only 20mm, the 5mm difference together with adjusting the firmness of the suspension has sorted out the majority of the rear wheels rubbing and as I never have any rear passengers (I have no friends) it is no longer a problem Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Tommy, how low you got your car and have you had the arches rolled? Don't really wana roll the arches incase the paint cracks. Link to post Share on other sites

tandino 1 Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Just want to bring this thread back up again....Is there any definative answers on where to get these from and for how much??Ive got a set of Desn 90's just begging to go on 8o) Pete. Link to post Share on other sites
Valver 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Try http://www.mswuk.com as they are the UK importer of H&R products. The adapters are alloy and german TUV approved but be careful when bolting the wheels to them as you can easily overtighten them and your steel bolts into the alloy threads can strip them out - I know coz this happened to mine! %-6 The addapters are about 25mm thick and a full set of 4 is approx £220 iirc.I ran 8x16 Design90s all round with 195/45/16s...although this was on a mk2 Golf.HTH Link to post Share on other sites
