205/40 17" alloys and handling
« on: 11 February 2010, 17:24 »
Hi, I have just put on new alloys on my mk3 Golf they are 205/40 17"  :smug: and I have notice the cars handling feels different to the old 14" standard wheels that were on, obviously more rubber in contact with the road but I was wondering if the camber can and should be altered at all and also if the tracking needs altering to suit the new width of wheel. :cool:

Getting wheel alignment done in the morning, is there anything else I need to do ( ie. camber, tracking/tow in/tow out) any info will be greatfully accepted. :cool:
