could someone please tell me the distance between the hub and the mudguard on a vr6? i wanna figure out exactly how much lip and poke i could get with certain offsets and widths.
Have a gander through my photobucket, I've uploaded some wheel fitment pics on Mk3s along with their respective specs - http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...Mk3%20Fitment/
Example:

16x8.5 ET26 front, 16x9 ET11 rear.
Lack of dish on low offset wide wheels usually means they're running spacers/adapters.
thanks for that ray (Y)
and another question! :D sorry about all these.
could someone explain brake clearance to me? i mean, if your brakes are too big for the wheel to fit, you would need to put on spacers, yes? but with just a quick google search i found out that spacers are illegal :S
thanks for the replies.

Which would mean they have high offset ;)Quote:

I own a Mk4 and am therefore biased, but damn that Mk3 looks hot!!Quote:
