JasLad 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Guys having a bit of a dilema with wheelsCurrent setup are weitec coilovers, on 16" Keskin KT4's, ET20 offset running 195/40/16's, basically they rub like a bitch and I want ride of them, i'm not prepared to raise the car as such as its not overally low!My other option is a set of staggered width D90's that I have here, i know nothing about how to fit them, but I presume these will rub just as bad If i swop over the tyres? I think these are perhaps an ET50 offset but would require adapters so pushing the wheel out?Next option would be TT comps, polished with a 195/40/17 tyre allowing me to go low, hopefully no rubbing? Only downside is, they are slightly bland and iv yet to see a pic of one quite low!Any other non rubbing/nice stance options out there? Kerschers (sp?) or Azev's?Kind Regards,Jason (Confused!)

JasLad 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Any suggestions? Like the idea of nice slab sided easy cleaned wheels Link to post Share on other sites

JasLad 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think they are 7.5 front and 8.5 rear but dont quote me on that, would they not be far too wide for the rear if you had adapters on? Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 mmmm as they are 8.5 on the rear that will be close but overall they will be about 25mm wider than standard at the front and 35mm wider at the rear which isnt too bad http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp use this mate to work it out - standard is width 6.5 et 43 Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 got your arches rolled?you cant stance properly if not cos they have quite a bit lip and most wheels will catch on non rolled arches. Might have to trim the arch liner doww a bit aswel. D90s come in 7s, 8s and if your lucky 9s. but being porsche they are very adaptor friendly as they have a high offset however unle you go for massive adaptors then 7s tuck no matter what. D90s do look good but very cliche on a mk3....Geo on here had TTs compe and it sat quite nice. Link to post Share on other sites
JasLad 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Any pics of the car on TT Comp's? I just cant find one with nice stance on comps! Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 space the rear out a bit and your on a winner! Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 got your arches rolled?you cant stance properly if not cos they have quite a bit lip and most wheels will catch on non rolled arches. plenty of mk3's with an awesome stance without rolled arches mate, it doesnt have to have no tyre to arch gap to be stanced or laying frame to be stanced it just has to look good ! and you defo dont need your arches rolling for that you just need to work harder TT Comps do suit a mk3 really well and are pretty much in as much abundance as the d90's - colour coded or polished they both work a treat Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 but then isnt your car just low? low is not stance! if i didnt have my arches rolled, my arches would be constantly on the tyres and i wouldnt be as low as i am now cos the wheels would have to sit in more. ANYONE can make wheels tuk its whether you can make it look good tucked. you could have the best wheels in the world, but having ill correct stance will make the overall finish look gash.

JasLad 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 space the rear out a bit and your on a winner!Loving that, any more pics please? Would think the mystic blue vs polished would be nice that low Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 no mate that's what I said - it doesnt have to be low to be stanced at all ! too many peeps are obsessed with getting the car as low as possible but then often the wheels look gash inmo - better to have it sitting at a nicer ride height, space the wheels correctly and then you can actually drive the car !

VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 his username is geo7087 (members ride section)mystic blue and polished comps will work, so will satin black comps. Camber the fronts a bit and it can easily go lower. Link to post Share on other sites

nivag27 5 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thats stance lol http://passionford.com/forum/general-car-related-discussion/337690-that-cambered-mk1-golf-rabbit.html Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Im not a fan of arch gap. The least arch gap the better for me. If done correctly you can get it as low as possible and still take it everywhere. But its not as simple as just bolting on wheels and winding coilies down as low as they can go.Theres alot of number crunching to do to work out ET, width of the wheels and tyre sizes. I had the front arches sat just above the rim protector and it very rarely caught. the backs weremnt sat quite as low but it very rarely caught. Link to post Share on other sites

VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Are there adjustable bolts on the front of the VR6?Cheap way of doing it The two bolts that are connected to the bototm of the coilies, if you undo those you can play wiht camber. im running -2.4 on the front last time I had it measured.

[/quote']true but it depends on what you want to do with the car ! I dont like having to avoid speed bumps etc so I dont run my cars as low as I could but I do have them looking right - and yeah getting a car low is simple but getting it looking good isn't I agree this was just before I got rid of mine - had got the rears sat right but the front needed more work but it was nearly there ! but as said I loved to drive the car and take passengers and camping gear etc so didn't want it crazy low Link to post Share on other sites
