Title: Static Ride Height Thread
Post by: AD1.8T on 18 December 2012, 11:13
This is copied off of uk-mkivs and is a good idea for those that are unsure on how there car will look at a certain height but the thread over there is a tad old so i thought id start the same here for all you lot  :smiley:

Basically give info on what size wheels/tyres your using and the measurement from the middle of the arch to the floor in inches would be better and obviously a nice side view of your car!

Il start it off with my gti sitting at just under 24 1/2" front and just under 24 1/2" rear with 7" 17s 205 55 tyres. This picture really makes me want to get the ecs centering plates !

Thats what happens when you have mismatch tyres ! Both the same size but different brands there only temporary wheels anyway
