We've seen all these before, but always nice to revisit some low action:

No, really - the more aggressive offset with fat Michelin PSS just rubbed on mid-corner bumps, fender screw mod is done & has solved that - but I'm assuming any further drop will cause it to rub again.

Cheaper to sell the springs than start looking at adjusting camber, much cheaper than getting bags too!

Yeah I'd say with the fatter rubber it'd need camber work post drop to work properly. The wagon looks low enough from factory anyway - maybe less so with the Rotiforms though, perhaps I am skewed by seeing too many bagged Rotiform cars though. Perhaps another reason to pony up for some OZs.. or drive around with wheels in your boot permanently.

Monday selection, evening edition:

Including another set of white finished OZ ULs.

An interloper from Mk6 land here... After spending Bathurst rolling through this thread for inspiration, I pulled the trigger on these today:

So it will look more like this:

Except in Graphite.

GTC AFF-1s. I'm going with 18x8s for comfort and light track work. If going purely for looks the 19s are a no brainer.

Big thanks to Dutch and the other contributors, I've lurked here for along time and this is one of the best threads I've ever seen.

Glad the thread has been useful.

Agree that 18s are the sweet spot for comfort and performance, 19s for the sharper look. The GTC AFF-1s are (I believe) from the same factory that pumps out the VMR wheels, in this instance a V804 - so quality should be decent.
