Prob rolled arches mate. Can't see you'd need to get the metal chopped though unless they're a lot wider than the current ones...

shouldnt think youd need to do much but u sure u dont wana just drop it more and leav it with 15/16s? just my opinion but i think too big wheels look odd on a mk2. got any pics for us?

(theres a reason to do it now-prove me wrong!)

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:
