PEDROX 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 you may need a 5mm spacer on the fronts to clear the callapers. Link to post Share on other sites
PEDROX 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 also it depends on what suspension your using as they vary in garth, its a trial and error prosses to get it just right, but ell worth all the farting about Link to post Share on other sites

mark@vagworx 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Using Koni Coilovers Pete.I'm planning on de-arching, but d'you reckon the arches will need to be pulled aswell as rolled? Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom_Force 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 if your planning to keep the car as low as you do mark then yeah, deffo rolled with spacers, and more than likely pulled. will look phat though Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,456 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 no idea what ET they are! they fitted on evil's VR with his coilovers, which are now on mine also.... I think they are streted 35 or 40's on them! Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I'm looking at getting the exact wheels and tyre combo but lots of people in NZ are saying it will be a huge mistake. They say the handling will be compromised - such as tramlining, will ruin the wheel bearings and throw the handling out. Is this true? Tundershop said my ET will be 15. How far will the tyres stick out from the arches? I suppose I will definately need to get arches rolled correct? Link to post Share on other sites
lowlife 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 9x16 et25 will go on with a rolled arch, I ran these on my old mk3 archs rolled(not flared)9x16 et25 with a coilover 215/35x16 tyre, thats the crucial part about this mod! Had the car Very low too!! As for the fronts, MAX 8x16 et20 with a 195/40x16. Link to post Share on other sites
