also what size well width wheels should i use? and what width tyres as i want it to be minimum lowered 120mm tbh

and which one of these would be a good fit? as offset and all that jazz starts confusing me lol

195/45/16 on 9's;

Ah sweet, i'm not too sure dude mine were only 16x7's with stupid amount of strech haha. I'm sure with abit more strech / arch work you can get it sitting dickhead low ;) have a look on http://www.tyrestretch.com to get an idea man, but borbet a's will look sweet on the vento!

Post by: Jimp on 12 January 2011, 23:31: 16x9's will look awesome. There's a jazz blue Vento and 2 light blue Jettas on 16x9s and when they sit flush they look spot on.

Post by: Jimp on 13 January 2011, 14:01: The Vento coupÃ© above was a car made by 1552 Motorsports in the USA. Mk2 G60 arches all around with the later spec mk2 side skirts too. I think the engine is a 1.8T but I'm not 100%, it may have been a boosted VR6.
