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.

Because changing control arm angle when the height of the car changes will increase/decrease the track widthOriginally posted by kaanage View PostComment

It would take an insane amount of inclination to have a significant effect on track - the car would be undriveable with the amount of resulting negative camber, especially with the tyres needed to suit rims that wideResident grumpy old fart

I think ET28 will poke on the front but not on the back. I'm running 17x8 ET30 with 215/40s on the back with still a bit of clearance, but ET35 seems as low as you can go on the front with this width tyre. Maybe try with 205s.Comment

Yeh ill be running 205s. Mind you this car does not get tracked with the ocasional spirited drive. The style i liked popped up for a damn good price only reason im considering them. Oh well ill test fit when they arrive i can always resell.2006 Polo GTI | APR Stage1 | PD160 | K&N Panel filter | Forge TIP | Forge DV | Forge IC Piping | Milltek TBE |
