Wheels look solid

Got some Sportlines and fitted them yesterday.  Three went without a problem but the last front one was a pig

Rears Fitted


Got careless with a hammer on the front passenger side persuading the strut out and mashed the brake hose so bad it split  :scared:


Emergency trip to Awesome GTi was needed as they had in stock a new set - only one they had so now I have front and rear steel brake lines  :innocent:


Front finally fitted


Just off the lift and not settled


After a few miles car has settled a bit


Think I need to put some spacers on the wheels now, maybe 5mm??  :signLOL:

Shoduchi:
5 mm is the minimum. 8 mm should be fine as well. I have 8" wide wheels with ET45 and no rubbing. :happy2:

I hope you'll like them. For me it sits perfect. Just don't forget that your OEM dampers will have a shorter life.

D_Philli_82:
Really like these wheels....look spot on with the car colour...

I'd say the front is spaced perfectly...8mm on the back is all you need  :congrats:

MateyGuv:
Thanks guys - with it sitting lower in really liking these wheels now. Think I'm gonna defo go 8mm rear and possibly 5mm on front.

Yesterday I surprised myself and did a DSG basic reset using VCDS - gearbox feels so much nicer now   :smiley:
