Spacers

if you're wondering about spacers, whilst i dont condone them for anything other than making your car fat...

this just has a simple calculator for how much more outer and inner clearance a wheel will have with varying width and offsets.

Ah great thanks You any idea what the standard 16" Monza are? 7J but what ofset? Thanks Guys appreciate it!

[jayjay]

something along the lines of et 42 6.5jx16"

i think... dont quote me on that but i think it's quite similar to the mk4 gti spec wheels.

Thanks buddy.
I just lowerd her 35mm so if i get 17's that means it will sit higher no?

[Whubbsie]

yes you'll sit higher unavoidable if you change up in wheel size, you can minimise it by running a smaller sidewall tyre but anything below a 40 will look stupid on only a 35mm drop.

[Buller_Scott]

hey whubbsie yours is the black with momos yeah?

how much have you dropped it from stock height? what coilies are you on?

[Whubbsie]

yep thats me, its now on Josh's old 70mm drop springs no coilovers yet, was on 35m H&Rs before that.

and boy does it look good

[Whubbsie]

need new spacers now though... or get my freaking RSs redrilled already

[GuyGTi]

So basically with35mm drop it will be back to normal height so then ide be looking at coilovers.... i can get that wheel in 16 inch but i think it would look tad silly

won't look the same your arches will sit closer to the wheel, actually 35mm is a pretty good drop for getting a 17" rim smack bang in the the centre of the arches some spacers to get you 5-10mm of poke and you'll look sweet and ride comfortably.

any serious drop you'll need coilovers even then only ones I've seen that go lower than 75mm are H&R ones
