redeye83 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 hi all after not long having my golf mk3 i've noticed that the suspention seems to be quite wollowy, its standard at the moment, any recomendations on what to get for it??also what size wheels are best as got a set of 18" rs4 alloys and they don't seem to fit at all alot of scrubbing so were on the car for about 500 yards!!oh almost forgot, been having a problem with the central locking, it seems to be over working, i've been told could be a split in the pipe, is this correct??any help on these topics would be very helpfulcheers Tom Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 18's are a bit big for a mk3. Better off swapping them for some 17's. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 You can run 18s on a mk3 but need super skinny tyres 35 profile are needed, cant remember exact size.!7s if you must but 16s are a good compromise and a bit cheaper tyre Link to post Share on other sites
