I think they would look so nice if your arches was sitting on the lips' so you would need a better stretched tyre and like you say 20mm spacers!

A real 304bhp 286lbft in a mk4 golf!

Sadly the tyre size is the lowest i can go, so there's nothing i can do about that lol

I've got the choice of major archwork, camber, the smaller adaptors which i've bought


Camber wise, 1.5 Degrees or 2??

Surely you can opt for 195/40's?

For some strange reason I thought the Carlines were 17's.

How about 215/35's?

Well it's been enough time to sort the car out to how i want it kind of,



I've sadly ruined one of the wings when rolling, well i say rolling, i hit it with a rubber mallet to help bend it out and have ruined the arch, so i need a new one, not sure if i can get that done in time for UD, so one arch will be ruined but hey ho, only noticeable up close[:(] it's rippled, it adds character...[lol-lol]



Well the headlining is complete, just need to put it in the car, sprayed up the interior plastics satin black, don't have pictures of it all complete as i'm not bothering until it's all back in lol



but here's some when painting

That's wet paint, now it's dried it looks oem [:)]





My Saturday consisted of camber fitting and arch rolling [:)]





20130223_121000 by Matty_Dub, on Flickr





I went with 2 degrees of camber, only did the rears, this is the difference...







20130223_130958 by Matty_Dub, on Flickr





Shortly after followed arch rolling...
