Think you may have installed your engine lid up a bit too high though.

fronts look good, but i understand what you are saying on the rear, the camber seems to make it look tighter than it is. wieer tyre on the rear perhaps?

Very cool.by the way👍

Not at all in my eyes. I think it looks great, but maybe a little low for this old guy 😂

Get rid of it.

Looks awesome! Keen to know the suspensions spec's. Is there a build sheet for this car?

I'm not a BIG fan of low profile tyres..

I prefer the softer ride and look of standard 165 x 15 tyres..

But its Your car...

and many people on AVD would love to own that car...

its a head turner..

SWEET AS..

Maybe if you add a whale tail and a big ol can out back you will get that ricer look you're after haha 🙂

Awesome ride brother... very very sexy ride, I hope mine comes up half as good as that!

No doesn't look like a ricer... at all... full stop.

Costa, that looks sweeeet!
Come along to the Sydney German Autofest with us tomorrow.

Too ricey would involve the rims being about 2" wider and the tyres 2" narrower and about 3000degrees more negative camber.

The tyre retailers must love those guys that only get 100kms out of there tyres before the inside is scrubbed out and the outside wall is chewed off on their bodywork.

Im running 195/40/17 on the rear and 185/35/17 on the front (wouldnt reccomend) about to beef up a little and go some 195/55/17

the 356 is running 205/50/17 and 185/40/17 fronts

XXX-1.8T ·

empi im send you a PM!

Thanks for the help guys!

Reason for my vintage Audi i bought 205 50 17's which are the same wheels as the above.

But with 50 profile will it be a little too much? Wheels are 17 x 7 in width.


The below pics of an Audi with the same wheels but he is running 35's on the front and 40's at the back


Which i am thinking for driving on sydney roads will end in tears.....

That's because all the pimped out ricey bugs are all hanging out in Brazil.
