18x8 ET35

Cheers for the help guys, I'm confused now, some people say 18" and 8" width with an offset of 35 will fit with 35/55mm springs and some say it will rub, does anyone have a definitive answer? :? definitive answer: yes they will rub...a lot mine are 18x8 ET35, 225/35 and 25/40 H&Rs and...

Drive Car of the Year 2011: Best City Car winner

Last year’s overall winner was a unanimous choice again this year with its combination of frugal but feisty engine and classy cabin.

£1k for a catback :shock: Aye, 990 EUR including fitting. Scandalous :roll: the same system is $2500 here in australia (that's 1875 euro/1625 quid) excluding labour...now that's scandalous! supersprint looks like better value at ~400 quid unless milltek come to the party and release a 1.2 TSI version

the owner ended up changing them to something higher as the ride quality was shyte
