wheel change on the mk2 gti
« on: 12 January 2008, 14:02 »
wheels car came with are back on....
15x7 bmw style rims...with 165x50 tyres stretch..20mm spacers on rear giving it a ET10 on back :lol: ...
will be comming back off in better weather for a re-furb...not that they are that bad...small ding in one wheel...but still like rims with no dings  :lol:






its currently lowerd 40mm...but going to drop it to either 60mm or maybe 80mm(depends if it will get in garage at 80)

most tyre fitter wont do it or cant...best ask about ..be somebody in ur area who will do it....its safe enough...i dont hammer my car when there on as i believe the tyres to get hotter due to stretch...but car drives fine and handles just as good
