Just tried to put these wheels on my esc GTI over the weekend and they are fine at the front but are rubbing at the back,my car is lowered by 40ml,have been told to get dampeners to stiffen the suspension or get the arches rolled out,just wonderin what you guys think as the car is more a family car and dosnt rub that bad when on my own but if got the family and shopping in is really bad cheers.

 

You've also got the option of putting 215/40's tyres on it as well ....

 

Nath have been thinking of that mate,but that is kinda last option, as has 45`s on now and are virtually brand new so just tryin to see if there`s any other ways as dont want to really fork out if dont have to.

 

If i do need to get my arches rolled out does anyone have an idea of how much it costs?

 

The wheels are 8 inch wide, no suprise that they rub.

Tyres would be a cheaper option to coilovers too.

Any pics as im interested on how far they must stick out?

 

Dean Saff, sorry mate got no pics at mo,but they do look really good,but if you look in pics gallery theres one in there mate under my pic request,If go for the 40`s instead of 45`s will this defo stop it do you think cheers

 

Have just been told by a body shop that they can grind upto a max 1/4 of a inch of the rear arches for 50 quid both sides but said dosnt know wether will cure it what you peeps think?
