Hi all!
Got these fitted today... widend originals (5.5 inch) with 195/65/r15 GT Radial Champiros...
They fit really well, no rubbing, and after taking her around some fast corners, (hehe) they grip really well too!
They look good too!

NO! No lowering!
Besides.. with theses tyres.. i CAN'T lower it :P
I like the way it looks now.. those wheels/tyres and ride height combo..
Lowered a inch up front and away you go:thumb

the wheels look really good shame you cant drop it,i think it would set it off nice ohh well. have fun with it anyway!
fun in dub's
Everyone lowers their cars!
It seems to me that the VW "customising" scene is fast becoming the VW "cloning" scene.
Everyone lowers their dub and puts fuchs on it.
Standard VW's are starting to stand out more!
how about people like me who would be raising em? 😂

Although i did have to check them against my stock wheels, cause they do look like 14's.. but they're not!
Got a new digital camera today.. and i was blown away by how good the pics are!
Just had to show them to you lot!
They're quite big.. so i can't post them here, but here's the links!

Here's some smaller res ones too for the thread.
Gee I better raise mine back to stock!!! Baaaaaa LOL
Everyone is fitting fuchs!!!!!! I cant see many volksie's with fuchs around. Maybe Mangels but not fuchs. Hey Jo didnt you ask us to lower your notch last week at my place or was that you joking? You know we think your new rims look the goods, do you want to buy a fasty thats a good wide wheel doner?
Yeah well... i'm still on the borderline.. i would like it lowered.. but i don't think i really can with these tyres... and i think it does look low enough now anyway..
On another note.. i found out why it was riding so badly.. it was sitting on the bumpstops on the front! *doh!*
I can't beleive the two other mechanics that have looked at it tro try and work out why it was riding badly, didn't notice this! (i'm not mentioning names)
So anyway, i jacked it up, pulled those suckers off, and whattyaknow, it rides perfectly! so smoooth! Once again, DOH!

Oh, maybe i meant mangels.. *shrug* i can't remember what they're all called!!
And what do you mean about the fasty?
Are you talking about the one i sold you, or another one?
If its the one i sold you, i already have the wide wheels off it! lol!
And a couple of pretty pictures...
Its not just parked on the hill to look pretty... The generator died.. so i had to park it there so i can roll start it in the morning..:P

How did that little ratbag get in the shot??
Yeh im aware that you have the wheels off the fasty, it was a joke.
Oh.. right.. what kind of idiot would buy a rusted out late model fasty anyway?? :P :kiss
[ Edited on 8-3-2006 by jo_tas ]
Hehe... just curious Jo... what happens when you cant find a hill to park on??? LOL :P 😂
