Oh sorry I meant the rears, they just clear the brakes but literally can't fit a once folded piece of paper in the gap so I chucked a 3mm spacer on there.
So;
Front: 8J ET45, 3mm spacer, 225 tyre, arches needed rolling with the 40ish mm drop
Rear 9J ET54, 5mm spacer, 225 tyre, no work needed.

So ive done a few more bits this last week, got some new exhaust tips, painted the hubs black, fitted a GTI footrest plates and will be giving her a good clean tomorrow.
I had the exhaust replaced about a year ago but the left tip had gone golden with brown spots all over it so I took it back and they replaced it for free no argument. Great service from Style Dynamics as usual, would highly reccomend them to anyone in the Hayes/ Uxbridge/ Berkshire West London area.
The Hubs are very orange and its been annoying me for a while so I decided to paint them Black
Havnt got any photos with the wheels back on because its sitting on the ramp drying overnight at the moment. Good to give her some loving on there for once instead of somebody else's car.
Makes my life so much easier having access to this thing, I fitted the footrest but forgot to take photos. Will probably give her a good clean tomorrow and take some proper photos now I've done all these bits. Got a few maintanence jobs to do and then leave it for a while..... Not :rolleye:

Ah, thanks for the info. They certainly look the part but I'm not sure if I'd need to do any arch work if I drop my Golf R by 20mm but it sits lower anyway so need to do some maths. Also, do you need spigot rings for the centre bore?
You can't be to fat from me, I live in Northwood during the week. :happy2:

Oh you're only like 40 mins from me then, yeh you need spigot rings, i just bought some of ebay for £5 and they were spot on. I've been reading about you selling up for a MK6R so have you already got one then? Which colour did you get?
