    Thanks bud! Yeah the front offset is +36 and the rear is +38 so there is enough room to run spacers, I will buy some decent pacers down the track but for now I'm just going to try and source a 3-5mm for the front, that will save the tyre I hope.

    I dropped the Volks off at tyre power this morning to get the falkens fitted. I then drove to a load of shops trying to I find a 3mm spacer, finally picked one up at auto one.
    Then arrived home only to be called back up by tyre power to tell me they don't have any valves that fit -_- greatttttt. I shopped around but the guys at tyre power sourced them that afternoon, so I'm picking the wheels up tomorrow morning sometime fingers crossed they fit without spacers on the front. Here's the front clearance on the test fitment;

    195/45s are fitting in that gap, pray to god!

    Looks good on them. Some spacers and lows and it'll look perfect

    That looks really really nice.

    Space them and lower it and you're set.

    Looks so good Billy!
    We'll have to see what the 8's look like on the front then maybe try source some new lips for the ass end
    Why go spacers when you can just go bigger lips

    Can't wait to roll out for VWs at the Drive Inn!

    Thanks man! Wheels are 16x7 et36 up front and 16x8 et38 in the rears. The tyres are 195/45/16 Falkens, decent looking on the back with a little stretch and pretty normal looking up front.

    Well not much happen yesterday, but when I went to take the wheels off the lower the coils the adapter rounded... I used it twice!


    So I went on back down to swan tyres in Osborne park, they replaced it.

    I got home and lowered the front as much as I could.


    Lowered the back about 20mm but it needs more which I will do today



    Updates and side shot when the back Is lowered too!
