  • 19's on the 36

    Some pics of the 19's i put on the 36:














    Still in two minds about lowering it as the 19's has raised the OEM height by roughly 15mm even though i went with 235/35.19.
    H&R do springs with 25mm lowering but its too much hopefully eibach or kw do a 15mm drop or i could leave it what do you think?

    That look really nice mate, ride height doesn't look to bad in the photo's but i guess it all depends on the look your after.

      Looking great!

      What centre caps do you have on the wheels?

      Are you keeping the OEM wheels or are you parting with them?

        Centre caps are .:R ones that came with the wheels from the previous owner.

        i will prolly keep them as hey are brand new along with the rubber

            Looks great! Are these Replica's or Genuine Gallardo's out of interest? Did they feel much different to the stock 18's in terms or weight?

              Genuine:





              Weigh half the weight of the OEM ones and the car feels faster

                    They look great!

                    What offset are they?

                    How did you ascertain that the car is raised by 15mm? By my calculations, the tyre size difference should only make a 2mm difference in height.

                    How did you get them?

                        I measured the front and side skirts of the car before I put the rims on.

                        I bought them from a guy that brought them in from the states.

                        Just bought KW springs from Germany to even it out. They provide the least amount of lowering - 20mm out of all the springs in the market.

                        I even contacted VW Germany and VW Racing but they dont have any 15mm springs.

                        I think 20mm will be perfect.
