No spacers on mine. The tires are 215/45/17, with ET38 on the wheels I think? It doesn't rub at all

 

[ErackTDI]

Awesome thanks for quick reply
Looks like it's time for me to find some new tires
Thanks again

 

[dieselpower04]

No prob.

I love these Conti Extreme DWS's. Look into them

 

[ErackTDI]

Sweet thanks I'll have a look at them

Moar parts

Gathering parts for a big install day:

VR6 rotors front and rear

KW V2 coilovers (height and dampening adjustable)

Still need Hawk pads and some control arm bushings!

i don't mean to open a can of worms on your build thread, so if a redirect is a better idea, lay it on me. I'm trying to get caught up with offsets and what not and i was wondering if there was an ideal target offset for our cars, or what. i've searched and can't really find anything, though my wife says i'm blind, so who knows.

you said you had et38, do you remember what your stock was?

 

[dieselpower04]

Ben, the offset on my wheels are 35mm now. If you look on vortex, they have all that broken down. I had my wheel guru (Joshua) help me out with these.

 

[benIV]

thanks.

Thanks! Yeah Josh sold the Jetta front end to a TDI guy, must be you!

He is working on it still, slowly but surely. A Mk1 with an ALH will be soooo nice!

Chris how are the new sliders working out? Are they as bad as everyone says?
