Problem with the switch is that I can't hang the under-dash carpet with it in the way.

BTW, above pic makes me hate life. I was never aiming for Hellafendercrunch BS, was hoping they'd fit a heap more comfortably than that.
Also, that pic is with a 15mm test-spacer. If 7mm less poke counts for anything, that's where it's going to be...

I'll 'fit' the wheels once tires are on, that's when i'll make the big decision: whether to buy spacers and long bolts, or give up.

ive got +16 13x6.5 on front.

I had to flare out front guards "gently" with a big hammer, and then mod the crap out of the GTi arches to allow a little more rim to be covered. i still got about 3mm poke. but i still need to set camber and actually get rest of engine in,

I haven't factored in camber at all really... Hopefully that will give some relief from 14x7 +7 (spaced).

I put some blocks under the control arm and dropped it back down for a test fit. Silly me, they'll fit no worries with a guard roll because they pulled in heaps.

Tires fitted. Last set of Federal 155/55's EVER, if i understand correctly. Suck me.

And yes, fitment is a goer.

(glad i'm not keeping track of what i'm spending on this POS...)

So do you still need spacers?

**Jace** · 19-10-2010, 06:32 PM

Yep, but it's not as Mexican as I thought it was going to be.
Didn't want to have to butcher my guard because 80% of the time these wheels will be off the car.
