Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    thanks for that ray (Y)

    and another question! sorry about all these.

    could someone explain brake clearance to me? i mean, if your brakes are too big for the wheel to fit, you would need to put on spacers, yes? but with just a quick google search i found out that spacers are illegal :S

    thanks for the replies.

      yeah but if they have split rims, the inner barrels would be wide hence no spacers ect

        Which would mean they have high offset

        Spacers are illegal unless you have it engineered. So is non-standard wheel fitment. And so is stretched tyres.

        Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

          Example:

          16x8.5 ET26 front, 16x9 ET11 rear.

          I own a Mk4 and am therefore biased, but damn that Mk3 looks hot!!
