Rear Spacers?

[suj]

what are people running on the back to get rid of tuck? i got like 5mm, but was thinking either 15 or 20mm, but people have said 25mm? i don't really wanna go that wide!

pics would be great too if possible

brummy i do like your width, was that 15mm with the ET35 on the RA's?

thanks boys!

 

[orangemuffin]

i am running 20mm mate.

 

[Brummy]

20mm either side, Suj.
sits 'em just about right IMO (just need to drop it a touch more )

 

[suj]

i am running 20mm mate.

hehehe

yours looks good too hmmm...?

 

[suj]

20mm either side, Suj.
sits 'em just about right IMO (just need to drop it a touch more )

sweet, i might get some 20's then!
i am not gonna drop it more lol, already finding it hard to get into my apartment, it's literally a 50degree upward ramp, my mate in his 200sx just doesn't come to ours anymore lol

 

[Brummy]

Im hoping to tweak a couple of things just to keep it fresh for the up coming year fella and sorting out how it sits it one of them.

 

[suj]

yeah yours don't need any updating IMO
done anything with the coilies?
hows the borbets?

 

[Brummy]

it does.
nope.
slow going (due to weather)

should all come good (hopefully) for the late spring/early summer.

20mm spacers and some washers will give some cheeky camber and get those wheels tucked well enough for a but more drop

thats one of my next jobs along with a few more

 

[abhardwaj1990]

I've got 20's on, with my steels that is, with my 7x17" alloys I get scrubbing with people in the back..........so thinking 15mm would be a better choice

 

[Fl@pper]

whats the standard rear track difference ?

hopefully when i do the stud conversion i was gonna try 5mm front and 20mm rear

 

[M1KEH]

According to my printout from wheel alignment it is 43mm narrower at the rear.

 

[suj]

According to my printout from wheel alignment it is 43mm narrower at the rear.

so 20's would be ideal then wouldn't it, from what i hear the mk3 golfs were the same, don't quote me on that tho lol

 

[Fl@pper]

According to my printout from wheel alignment it is 43mm narrower at the rear.

must admit i had 15mm a side in my head but that may have been from the Mk3 Cupra R wheel widths/offset's instead

looks like 20mm a side is ideal as said then - can always chop 5mm off if it rubs

 

[M1KEH]

Well according to the owners manual its meant to be 35mm difference 1429 front and 1394 rear.
