BIG change on my gti !!! pg 5

[dave-g]

looks sweet mate, just outta interest what size wheels you got, and whats sie spacers you got on em?

oh and black vw badge ftw

[turkpolo]

they are 15 inch by 8 inch wide the offset it 25mm but i had to get another 15 mm spacers due to flaring the arches
cheers for the comment mate

[turkpolo]

Havent shared any info or pic on this forum for a while so here it is

bbs rm 8j front 9j rear:



tried them on




fitted with nankang 185 45 15 all around wich gave a stupid stretch

[alexperkins]

very swish mate, but thats just a bit too much stretch for me. That rear camber is unthinkable almost lol. Rear bearings and tyres wont last long!

Lovely wheels though

[turkpolo]

cheers mate, i know ive gone a bit mad lol i got no camber atm. i will upload huge amount of pics tomoro of the arches and more bodywork

[Tim_GTi]

Yeh the backs look ridiculous in my opinion, sorry. Can't imagine they'e much fun to drive with either.

Fronts are spot on though! Could have perhaps had them all round, or 7s on front with 165/50s maybe and the 8s on back.

[Si_GTi]

Good old Nankangs! I think you might have too much poke on the back though, looks a bit crazy. Are you planning any arch work?

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yeah I have to agree that the back does look ridiculous and I can’t imagine it being nice to drive.

Front looks much better but still too much stretch for me. The wheels are gorgeous though to be fair

[emma_88]

I agree with the lads, the rears look a bit daft, but it's your car. Get your arches pulled and they might look alright.

I do like the fronts!

[turkpolo]

Cheers every1, I know the rear looks over the top but im just tryna go as wide as possible, by the way forgot to add that the arches have gone very wide with the rear bumper 3 weeks ago, sidelights removed and smoothed, main ariel on the roof has been removed and smoothed, front arches have gone slightly wider with the front bumper etc

will upload the pics today

Other bits & bobs sound good man,

How does it drive with the wheels like that? noticeable difference to the general driving comfort & performanc??

[turkpolo]

dude to be honest it doesnt make any difference, well for me that is. i mean i actually have got better and wider grip on the road, as for the comfort the coilovers are a nightmare!! the road noise does increase due to the widht of the rims but it looks awsome! i know every has been saying it looks mad but thats the whole point im sure evry1 is going to love it with the arches and wider bumpers

[emma_88]

Pics, pics pics!!

[turkpolo]

I really love this one!!!

[6N2 GTI 00]

Iye Coilovers are never going to be comfy though to be fair, mine are not too bad on most roads but if you hit a pot hole you certainly know about it.
Bet the car gets plenty of looks with the wheels like that though and its does look funky, but its a bit too mad for me.

Those Pics above look awesome mate, love the garage doors shot, quality.
