So I would need a 25mm+ adapter just to clear the coilovers right?
I'm hoping to have a good collection of wheels for my MK1. It'll be the sort of car I base my love and enthusiasm for wheels on.
Not keen on baller-status perfect fitment RM's or RS's, more so keen on rare/unusual 13's, 14's and 15's.
I've booked my first set already and I'll have them fitted as soon as the car's low enough to pull them off!
Yeah. You want a minimum offset of about ET25 and ideally around ET30-35 when the adapters are fitted with a 7 inch rim.Quote:

a final ET of 25-30 is generally pretty good, if you go to high (35+) you might have issues hitting the coilovers.
the jetta wags! has paint! havn't seen it for a while.
hmm.. well, I would have done it differently.
Eh I reckon the colour is great if that's what you're referring to Jarred. Plus if they do a stance like that I will be stoked on it!
Damn straight, the D90's looked great on that car.
I can't say I've seen bolt on spacers/adapters available at a higher thickness than 30mm, but that's on the JDM side of things.
Just run adapters plus spacers if you need to. ;)Quote:

If I need to... bolt-on spacers on bolt-on adaptors, camber shims with drop plates... because fitment is just that important.
