H13VYY 0 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 iv got 9j rears. their 16's. ET15 i think or ET20 not sure. No spacers. tyres are 205/40/16's. Not sure how much it's lowered..here's a pic. And no they don't scrub as iv grinded the arches. But they did rub before i grinded the arches. Link to post Share on other sites
H13VYY 0 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 lol you can also see the rips on the tyre's from the rubbing. btw does anybody know the recommended tyre pressure on 205/4016's on 9j rims? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I ran 9x16 ET15 all round, low as car is now and no rubbing issues at all apart from when mate was in back or undulations in road. Best stance on the VR in my opinion. But wanted 312mm brakes and wouldnt fit over them without using spacers and that would of been more trouble than was worth Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 cant remember for sure now but think i had 215/40 tyres Link to post Share on other sites
trix2702 23 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I ran 9x16 et 15s lowered till axle hits floor, arches rolled and pulled slightly, rubbed when bottomed out, now running 8.5 x 17 et 35 with 10mm spacer and only catched on leading edge of arch, should be pulled in next couple of weeks so can run dropped 140mm without issues apart from floor hitting the road Link to post Share on other sites

(witchcraft I reacon!!)so when they finally arrive ill see if he can give me a hand with the final fitting but just trying to suss if its do-able at the moment, cant wait, TTs are soooooo common now Link to post Share on other sites
