If its still rubbing then the only thing you can do is fit a bigger spacer or rise the front a little :wink:

yes m8 i did mean you sorry not to sure on what to call that colour lol dark green greyish lol
have you fitted spacers to urs ? if so what ones ?
its not rubbing at the mo but if i was to take it any lowwer the tyre will rub on the adjuster
at the min i can jst bout get 2 fingers above the tyre to the arch
the rear is near on bang level with the arch near enuff which is how i want the front

yes m8 i did mean you sorry not to sure on what to call that colour lol dark green greyish lol Anthracite Grey
have you fitted spacers to urs ? yes if so what ones ? 5mm Eibach
its not rubbing at the mo but if i was to take it any lowwer the tyre will rub on the adjuster Tyre a 10mm spcaer (put both 5mm ones on one side) if you do go with 10mm spacers make sure you get longer bolts :wink:

yeah I put 5mm on the back aswell :wink:
I also fitted front and rear anti roll bars at the same time so I get no rubbing at all.
Looking nice :cool: :cool: :cool:

If you are fitting any spacers,i'd recommend longer bolts anyway.I've got 5mm spacers on the front of mine,and didn't fancy risking having the wheels only held on by a few threads :laugh:,so bought longer bolts with them.
I got eibach 5mm spacers and 10 longer wheel bolts for £45 at awesome gti.

Ive been running my 5mm spacers with standard wheel bolts for over 16k not had any wheels fly off :shocked:
How do you find the eibachs?? mine cause wheel vibration at 60mph :angry:
-
Mine are fine,maybe if you had longer wheel bolts holding your wheels on,you wouldn't get wheel wobble. Just a thought :undecided:

ive already got 5mm on there atm i need at least 10's i reckon but lyk u say ill have to get longer bolts

The std VW wheel bolt has a thread of 28mm,add the thickness of the spacer and buy wheel bolts to suit.Your looking at bolts with 38mm thread :wink:
Don't forget to get the right bolts for your wheels either,oem wheels use a radius head,after market alloys use a tapered head.

same as me tho as soon as i get past 60 it goes away :grin: i have put it down to the bolts but will leave them for now because hopefully will be replacing my alloys after summer :smiley:
