18'' wheels on Mk4 lowered 30mm
« on: 08 February 2008, 20:12 »
Does anyone know if 18'' 215s will fit on a Mk4 that's been lowered 30mm? Any cheap places to buy 2nd hand better than ebay?

BUT if you fit 215 35 18 tyres you will feel the bumps in the road as i have this done lowered 40mm so i wouldnt recommend it in my opinion

I was thinking of 45s. I've got 45s on 16s. I'm used to it. Anyone think it'll clear those bastard square speed bumps. (Doesn't at the moment. 2 sumps lost to them)

215/35/18s on gmax shocks an front springs an fk rear coilovers

225/40/18s is the corect size to keep your rolling radius the same

Ive just fitted some eibach pro springs and shocks and thay are really good, However it only seems to have dropped about 20mm. Im really happy with it tho You might want to go a bit lower and get coilovers.
