SLAJ's Mk4 GTI

[Lito]

Haha I can just imagine.
The worst thing for me is getting back into my car after driving my mates 230kw S15.... It really kicks in just how slow it is but then I love it again a week later

The golf will always be faster than the s15 because the cops aren't pulling you over every 2 blocks to try and give you a yellow sticker....

Car looks mint man. Wish I was in melbourne so I could attend some meets with these black mk4's! Nothing much ever happens down here haha.

X5's look crazy, must be some rubbing going on. When I bought mine it had 19's on it and it rubbed all my guard liners out quick smart!

what were the specs for those black wheels?

Would be awesome to have yet another nice black mk4 down here

Yeah there is a lot of rubbing, I've raised it about 10mm all round so it doesn't rub as much as it used to. It's mainly the back so I think if I got 15mm adapters I would be fine to lower the back again

what were the specs for those black wheels?

They were 18x9 et20 all round with 15mm spacers

how do you think 18x9.5 et 38 go? theoretically should fit?

I think you would have trouble with the wheel hitting the strut up front. I'm 8.5 et30 an can't get a finger in between my wheel and strut

What Lito said, those wheels were originally et35 before spacers and the front was grinding on the coilovers.

Have you checked the Mk4 wheel thread?

no chance mate, i'm running et26 and you can just fit a playing card between the coilover and the rim. they are for sale if you want to give them a go...

Loving this car man. Ill be playing it safe with my MK4 and probably end up going 18x8.5 18x9.5 +30 all round or even +35 all round then space them out from there. Nothing too aggro but a touch of poke. Would be within the ballpark you think?
Also, with your FKs how far down are you wound on the front and rear in this pics you think? just so i have a rough guide to wind mine down for the suspension mob on monday as a base height to play with

You should be pretty fine with +30 and 5 to 10mm spacers, my 18's were 18x9 +35 all round originally. The rear poked just the right amount with 15mm spacers but the front was a little too aggressive, nothing a little negative camber couldn't fix tho.

With 18's I'd say wind the back all the way down, and I couldn't tell you exactly how far from the bottom my fronts were,but from memory it looked like I had about 100mm of play
