Re: Definitely Useful

Yep, been checking that as my reference for installing new wheels.

Re: Definitely Useful

It is good but they need more information, i have already talked to CleanPG about it. They need to add if rear drop plates are used as well as any subframe modifications, which control arms are used as well as what spindles they are using. Those all make significant changes to the camber and the angle of the control arms and hence how far the wheels are pushed out.

Re: Definitely Useful

Yeah true, the spindle is what's giving me trouble so I wish they had that... But still gives you a pretty good idea.
We should all contribute!

What troubles are you having?

Re: Definitely Useful

Well I bought coils to upgrade my old cup kit and right now I'm running 225/45/18 et 48... So I'm rubbing in the strut, so right now just playing with spacers trying to make them work before I have to go to 205 or even new rims.

Re: Definitely Useful

Your wheel specs are 18x7 et48 correct?? or is it 18x7.5?

Re: Definitely Useful

et48 is incredibly high for a mk4. Also, if you are running a 45 series tire on an 18, you need to get a 40. Pretty much guaranteed to rub otherwise.

Re: Definitely Useful

18x7? Good god thats narrow

Re: Definitely Useful

No it 7.5. So today I put on my 30mm in the front and rolled the fender and dropped it about 2.5 inches and I'm really happy with it. Almost need like a 25mm put unless anyone would like to trade I think I'll stick with the setup.

Re: Definitely Useful

Yeah you will need at least a 20mm for that wheel/tire combination to not rub on the inner struts, your tires likely balloon out a bit and will rub on your strut before your rim does. If you lowered it 2.5" from where you had it before then the combination of a 45 series tire (still think this is a typo myself) will eat your fenders alive. Good luck on the turns tomorrow on your way to work/school

from the pic it looks like a typo, pretty sure thats a 40

Re: Definitely Useful

Probably swing by concept tomorrow after work and pick up some 20mm. What do you think of the front?
