hi there all. i am looking at a set of tt competition rims on fleabay and was wondering whether they will go on my vr without any mods. i understand that i must use 205 40 17 tyres but i plan to lower the car 35 to 40mm. will the arches rub or should i get away with not rolling them. cheers guys.

At standard ride height you won't have ANY rubbing problems! :-d

I have lowered mine by about 40 mm on TT Comps but I do not have a very stiff ride so there is more suspension travel when going over speed bumps than some coilover set ups. They didn't rub at first but after settling and with a some weight in the back they did rub. Not a nice sound when you've just fitted new tyres. :-( Have them all rolled and maybe pulled slightly on the rears to be on the safe side. Also means that if you ever go for bigger rims or ones with a different offset you won't have any probs. A good bodyshop should advise that they may need spraying as the paint can crack during rolling.
