get some 20mm spacers on rear and 5 on front thats what i had on montys and still have now :D

Yup, heading to halfrauds tomorrow after work to pick up some 5mm ones for the front. Any pics of how the rears sat with 20mm spacers?

no sorry bud, i still have space to spare but i wasnt lowered at time, i mean i still have space to spare with 20mm on rear now with 8j wheels and lowered. Just best of going 15/20mm that way when u get new wheels u hopefuly wont have to purcahse another set :)

Yup, wishbones are level and it's pretty much perfect on the road :cool:

When you lower a Mk4 the wheels 'tuck' pretty badly, even at the height I'm at it's enough for the tyre to touch the coils a little. 5mm spacers will be enough to sort it :wink:

Right then, got some cheap universal 5mm spacers on the front. It was only the o/s that was rubbing, the tyre is pretty badly grooved so I'm going to replace it.





Even with the spacer on it's close though:



I've also got some 20mm hubcentrics on the way for the rear :smiley:
