Coils will get you pretty low and still retain a level of comfort depending on what brand you go for.
Keep trying with those reps, though if they fall through try http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?ID=1665 for a new set, stick your old tyres on and you are away!
Bennett vrs:
You can get reps that are Et44 and there like 600 for the set mate which isnt bad. The first pic you posted on the mk4 R32 ( deles) are the ones that i have sitting, bought them off him last week. Ive not done any arch work, not tried yet. Cars still sitting standard but i have brakes, coils, the wheels and loads more bits to get on once the weathers a bit better. Will let you know when i get them on though mate.
matsu:
as much as i want to be in a hurry i have plenty to do to the car before i get the rims-and they will only be sunday best rims anyways.so as much as i am very impatient, lack of funds will prevail and force me to wait,...unless the right ones come up at the right time and ill postpone something else.
we all know how that goes i,m sure! :ashamed:
hurry up the dry weather so i can see what your doing with yours... i wont be far behind u unless a chance of luck befalls me!!
i really should stay off here and ill be sane again...and not so skint.
good luck

So, whats the news?!
I am shopping backwards and am currently looking for some rims for the mk5 Golf I haven't even bought yet.
I've just seen a set of Merc staggered fit.
18" all round.
8.5 fronts on ET35,
9.5 rears on ET40.
Can I get these to fit, what tyres should I run,
and will I need to get spacers.
I plan to buy some Gaz Gold Coilovers, it won't be decked as its the wife's car.
Any news, please.............?!
Five Alive:
Alphards apparently are quite easy to fit, bit of arch rolling on the front, camber on the back to tuck the tyre in, should be quite easy I reckon with the right tyres,
if your not going to lower it lots a 9.5 may look naff, you need it low to pull the look off in my opinion
