Compomotive th wheel fitment
« on: 12 November 2011, 17:55 »
Im thinking about buying some compomotive th in 16x8. Will they go on a mk3 gti ok? Will I need to roll the arches? I haven't done anything to suspension yet but thinking going down the route of some adjustable £500 jobs.

I'm building it as a daily drive but with track bias as I plan to do some track days next year. I ride the push iron to work but will need this in bad weather.

How easy is it fitting boxster brakes?

All depends on the offset

They'll be brand new so I can choose offset. What's recommended?

Well the biggest you can fit with 16" wheels is 312mm so look at switching to that set up. :smiley:
