looking good mate. they're definitely different! Are they 15's?

definitely need some spacers i reckon, fill the arches a bit.
And lower would be good for sure

Title: Re: Golf mk3 newbie
Post by: Andy grim on 29 February 2016, 20:22

Yes definitely got some lowering springs too they are 14 inch

Post by: jimmydub on 29 February 2016, 20:25

yeh they do look small, but spaced and lowered and i think they'd look sweet. what width are they? what size tyres you running?

hmmm bit small? If I remember rightly standard longbeach tyres are 205/50/15 - 6.5J. So your total wheel circumference is gonna be quite reduced.

To be fair you probably dont give a toss! I do tend to get a bit anal about these things  :whistle:

Lol your right just wanted something a bit different

Damn son, you could run a homeless shelter under those front arches!

Needs serious lows :)

Noticed how many miles out your speedo is?!

Post by: Andy grim on 01 March 2016, 10:54

Lol 😁 did the maths under by about 2 on the speedo

In order to pull off 14's you'll need to be so low that the subframe will be dragging along the floor :whistle:
