Hmmm thats what i was thinking...
I was looking at lorenz car from sa dovw and ill only be 8mm further out up front...

Hows the wide track and normal mk3 setup work? Could parts be changed to make it less agressive?

Apart from the middle piece of the subframe, nothing is interchangeable between the widetrack and normal setup. Personally I would stick with four stud and run a good pad + rotor setup, or if you want more, a 280mm setup from a Cupra. I've kinda regretted going 5x100 sometimes, just much easier to find 4x100 wheels.

Another thing you could do to have a smaller track is to run Mk2 bits. I don't remember what parts you need (definitely the control arms, not sure what else) but there's another 10mm clearance you can gain. Some of the hardcore Vortexers have done it haha.

If you remember my wheels way back at SEDF 2010, they were 17x8 ET20 on the front, and ET10 on the rears. I liked that setup, though I was scraping a lot.

thanks ray! I do recall you saying about the 4 stud a while back, but i plan to share wheels between the bora and vento (bbs and the current set im eyeing off) so thats my reason.

Im not vortex hardcore thats for sure haha. I will add that to my list of things i need to study on there.

The grey/pink beasts? Sure do, how could i forget!! Thats a good reference.
Just noticed the ones im looking at are et23 actually. So that should give me enough room

Just FYI Dyl, after exams I'll be looking to find a way to run 5x100, but narrow track. There might be some options out there for that, still have to do some extra research & emailing first though.

I don't figure I'm going to be running 15" 'rims' (ie phat RS's etc, not just stockies) any time soon, (i'm more into 16"s/17"s for mk 3's) hence why I'm looking to go 5x100, just FYI.

Maybe look into some double up hubs Dyl, 4x100 and 5x100 so you can keep the narrow track (or even run MK2 arms and tie rods), but keep the availability of wheels off the Bora
