Can't believe how easy it scrubs now with a 10mm difference in offsets!!
Don't think I'll be spacing the BBS out on the front like I was going to!

The caps are only little - they just sit around the bolts, so you can still see them...they just cover up the center bore section with a little VW sign- not like mine where its a full center cover to hide it all away!

Looks great Tom!
Mine obviously isn't low enough as I had no scrubbing after changing from ET45 BBS RX2 to ET35 G60 to ET33 BBS RM

Looks good! I wish I bought steelies last year. I just kerbed one of my refurbed rims a couple of weeks ago, I'll never forgive myself

It's good fun, I've actually started trying to make it scrub just to hear the noise.
Seeing you say you couldn't get a trolley jack under your car made me wonder if I'd be able to.
I can't either, which meant using the VW jack to get it up high enough to get the trolley jack underneath. Lowered cars eh, who'd have them

Try driving the car up on a plank first, that should help with the jack situation
. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently it works.

Yeah planks are the way forward. Me and my dad built one that goes up in steps and is quite long. Use it for changing the oil so it's quite useful

I'm the same, cant get the jack under the car....have to drive up onto bits of wood! I love it when you have to, makes you feel proud
