Agree- I want them- but will they fit...that is the question? Plus I have not seen any mk4 running 9inch at the front.

nah, me neither. i think at this point - jsut get them.!

worry about it later.

run a narrower tyre, roll guards. vortex members, tend to have 8.5 out front. can't be that far off. as long as you don't lower it.

i like the way people say "get some balls and buy these" while the guys who say it dont buy jack all for there cars., hot wheels tho/.

[TazzyVR6]

I put them in the wheel offset calculator and compared to my 17x7.5 et38 bora sports: 11mm less inner clearance behind spokes, 27mm more poke!!! Logic says if they are 32.5mm wider than my 7.5" then they will also be (32.5-27mm) 5.5mm wider on the inside edge as well? So there's all sorts of potential for rubbing...

8.5 on a spring and shock combo will fill up the front of a MK4. COULD be made to fit with some serious guard rolling though? go get a tape and measure from your shock to the guard.

yeah, i don't like our chances. tommy's R32 scrubs with 8.5 CH's. its a nice height though (low).

unless we can shave the offset down - maybe... but a lot of modifying then.

9" on the front would be pushing it unless you ran camber and stretched tyres i recon

Id be more worried about the poke/gaurd clearence.
8" with ET45 clears on standard suspension and JUST touched my coilovers
so run that through the offset calculator vs the 9" ET30, 2mm more clearence (nice) and 28mm of poke compared to the 8" ET45
compare the 9" ET30 to 8.5 ET35 (the CHs yes??), 1m less inner and 11mm more outside clearence.
So i wouldnt be shaving the offset to put it any closer to the strut. Unless the golfs and R32s are that much different to the boras?

[ssman]

Are they still available?
