ive got 3sdm's 0.05 16" 8j et10 front, 9j et 20 rear, 8's sit flush on the front with no work what so ever to them, my golf was sat half a filter box off the floor so all of 1" still could go lower but wasn't possible with having speed bumps at work. 9j rears need 25mm spacers to fit the centre caps, a smidge of camber and the arch lips rolled with a scaffold bar to clear :) no issues what so ever, fitted polybush bumpstops on the shocks to stop the body fowling the tyres but they still clear with about 5mm

Gonna camber the teledials now :) going to keep that in mind though as I love the 3sdm alloys!

Found a helpful company VW MAD UK near
Me in Essex that are going to install the shims so I can get the clearance I want! I'll let you know how it all goes and post pictures!
