[dylan8]

Those tyres dont look as stretched as i thought they would. different brands, different stretch.

alphards. next level. hottest in aus easy. congrats Tim!

[GoLfMan]

nice one Timmeh!!! smidge lower and it'll be spot on

the wait was worth it, such a sexy looking wheel on the Jetta

[BrianS]

looking damn good. alphards suit it to a tee.
more lows though needed maybe. although if the roads in vic are like the roads over here in SA then more lows may be a problem.

[adzy]

Nice bro!! Alphards def need more lows due to their status, looks like the rear could come down a little more than the front

[JimmyH]

Godamnit! Ive been trying to suss out a place to get some Alphards for my Jetta and now someones beaten me to it. And in Melbourne too! Argh!

But I must admit I love the wheels. Congrats on getting them. They do look awesome!

[Silver dub]

Thanks heaps guys, i'm really wrapped with how they look on the car.

I got jess to drive it around the block once i finished just so i could see how it looked rolling.

I knew there would be a few comments regarding ride height, lol.

When i put the wheels on and dropped it of the jacks it was perfect fitment, i couldn't even get a finger between the guard and the arch but that unfortunately that led to problems.

I wanted to turn the car around in the garage so i could do the left hand side tyres due to having more room on that side of my shed but it involved driving the car out my driveway and turning around on the street("Should be no stress, flat driveway and about and inch raise just over the grass nature strip") ummmm...............FAIL!

I had not a chance in hell of getting out due tyres scrubbing inside the guards, so i drove it very slowly back up the driveway only to remove 1 alphard rear wheel and 1 karthoum rear wheels just so i could raise the coils by 10mm to be able to turn the freaking car around.........ha.

So as it stand i cant really go any lower "for the time being" due to the roads and driveways jess has to drive in to get to and from work, STUPID PENINSULA LINK ROADWORKS!

I am now contemplating getting some camber sorted in the rear so i can go that smidge lower but i'm not sure i want to loose that real Fat poke look.

The Front ride height is what i was running before on the karthoums and have not touched it however i can now go lower due to the stretch giving me more clearance. However with the rear at it's current height if i drop the front it will give it a huge forward rake stance.

Alphards look like they were made for the Mk5 shape.

Loving the fat stance/poke too.

%*$&*#$&*(&@()$&**(&)*&#%( sheesh Tim... stepping it up big time, amazing what a set of wheels can do!
Again this is the best Jetta in Aus, the Alphards suit the cars shape to a tee, so much love
