anyone know if 15's (195/50/15) will fit ok without any rubbing on a mk4 estate that's lowered 60mm or would 14's be better ?

i don't want to start attacking arches if i can help it

Should be fine at that mate!

cool , anyone got any pics so i can see how close it is , i use my estate as a van and drag all my tools about so if its too close on the back crappy 14's will have to do

mate mines about 100mm on the back and about 80mm up front...





rs series 2s with 195/50/15s... a little close on the back but they dont scrub at all..if its an issue just trim a little off the inside of the arch lip...

hope this helps

do you find they bottom out often ?

i take it they are cut springs on standard shocks ?

bonus_boy

yer to get it that low, but no it does bottom out at all....its off the road now so will change to a decent suspension setup once it does return on the road...

but yer im sure 60mm springs on 15s (195/50/15s) would be fine..

my mates mk4 van had 15s and lowerd 60mm with all his tools etc in the back and it was fine...

just need to find some s2's or at least some tyres to fit the s1's i already have

bonus_boy

is it standard looking your van? hasnt got a kit has it? also what colour is it? because if its red then lower it on black s2 alloys.....looks the nuts!

bluescortcossie

no kit at the moment and its dark blue , was a bit of luck that i found it , 1 owner from new , all mot's , full history , 2 door estate , 6 months t&t everything works as it should and is very quiet to drive , the only rust is a tiny bit on a rear arch all for £495 !

bonus_boy

nice one...dont ask where, but i thought it was a van

but yer exactly the same about lowering...will defo be ok..

sounds like youve got a nice motor then..
