Another Coilover Question.
« on: 29 March 2012, 17:10 »
Seen a few threads like this but they weren't leading to my answer.

What i want to know is, I have a Gt Tdi and im going to be putting some fk coilovers on it, im running 18" r32 alloys, ET 35, 8J with 225 40 tyres on. Im only wanting to go 40mm so will i need spacers for my wheels? If so, what size?

Any advise welcome!

Cheers, Hoggy.

Try it bud you most likely will need them but to save buying them first drop it to were you want it worst case wind it back up until you get some

Cheers for the quick replies guys, will do exactly that Ad! Is 15mm not a bit drastic to go at the rear?

Tyre top fits under arch rest of wheels doesn't is limit at 15mm mate. If going low 5-10mm i'd say.

Do you have much trouble with wheel bearings going on the rear with such a wider set up?
