VWW Official MKIV Wheel Q&A

[dylan8]

Ok great, will the 18x8 still work if there 40et?. Im not planning on super low as its a daily driver, i was looking at a set of FK AK's or similar until i can afford something better.

with 225/40s at stock height will be fine.
lowered might be close to the strut depending on how low. if you can stick to the 8et35 you listed earlier id be doing that

Arch height to ground Front: 22"

Camber: Front No / 1deg extra in rear

front is sunken a little so when the car is raised up the tread sits inside the guard still.
Currently stuck on the driveshaft on the drivers side and control arm/subframe joint on the passenger so thats why it sat so high/wonky in the front.
tyres are super undersized and would avoid on most mk4s due to load rating and speedo being way out.
ill get some better pics later.

Cheers!
While I like them and they achieved the 'bling' look I was after while being fitted/fat/real. I feel they also give the 20" chromie vibe from some angles... which freaks me out. I seem to be the only one that sees it though?
Might continue to confuse the hell out of people for a while while im doing the rest of the work to the car, then move on in a month or so.

you have seen the wheels, but a few things have changed.
More lows, different adapter in the front, different brand rubber in the back
Sills are level (which I hate, but until I can get the front lower ill continue to confuse people with just the rear when the car is left aired out in public
