cabrioman 6 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 quick up date have been on the blower to nick at demon tweeks most of the day trying to sort this issue out .... we think that some spacers will fix it so managed to space the wheels out untill they dont rub on the shocks and i need 12-13mm on the front and 6-7mm on the rears .....

legvw 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Should give it a fairly wide stance, so it should handle better too, aswell as clearing your shocks! Link to post Share on other sites

Tony' date=' you can use polo rear brake spacers from VW on the nhub to stub axle to give you 9.5mm without affecting the wheel bolt length.Have a look on mine/Nige's build threads on Northloop.[img']http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b207/wh00sher/Golf/IMG_4942.jpgJust read through, great work.How did you do the sunroof plate?my build thread Link to post Share on other sites
