Also you couldn't run them without being seriously low/cambered. So another £1000+ for air!

dont need air but you must run low to get that stance, im -1 degree camber on rears to tuck up wheels, stretch tyres are fine to run, never gone thro mot tho with em on!!!
Title: Re: serious stance !!!
Post by: will gti on 24 December 2010, 14:15
would 9j with stretch get under the arches ? what do u do about the mot then mate ?
Title: Re: serious stance !!!
Post by: andc1 on 24 December 2010, 14:32
you need to be clever with spacers/adaptors, im running x5 rims and there 45 and 48 offset, 20mm adaptors and camber, and that gives me the stance i need,

Post by: andc1 on 24 December 2010, 14:59
its not mine but i have the same set up and looks identical but black and 3 door,thats on air and fully dumped, im about 5 mm higher, had my arches rolled, bit of grinding inside arches, no inner arch linners, really need 215 35 on the rears but it took an hour to get the rears on! and the inner lip on the rims will need sanding down abit to fit tyre on!!!! cant go full lock, no more than 2 people in the car, forget speed bumps ha ha lol !!!

I love that stance!!! So so nice I wish I could have 2 cars just so I could do that to one of them!

Post by: houston on 24 December 2010, 16:59
only gripe i can see is that the rear wheel isnt centred in the arch, but surprising how good x5 rims actually look!!!

there was a mk4 in pvw with nissan patroller 4 spokes that looked lovely!

Yep spot on, scene points is one thing but still better to have a car you can live with and drive on a day to day basis.

It's on air. And this blue mk4 does get used daily!

The more you lower them the further forward the rear wheels sit

sure there is a thread on this on ukmkivs.....there is these spacer things you can buy to push the wheel back a bit
