Pic Request
« on: 02 January 2010, 14:00 »
This may have been asked before but here we go!!!!!   I am going to be lowering my 8v GTi soon by 40mm rear and 60mm front. I will also be changing the tyres first (Wayne and Kells....lol) to 195/45/16's.
Does anyone have any pics of one done this way so I can have a look before I get it done.

Cheers     Deano

I would love to go down 80mm but with the kids in the back it would not move and I would not be able to get on my drive so I think 60mm on the front will do nicely for me. Been to order my new rubber today so should get them next week and lowering the following week. Can't wait....just the seats to do then to finish it off for me!!!!!     Cheers     Deano

can i ask why you're going to get thinner width tyres than those that come as standard?

that means less rubber otr which = worse handling?
