[skovrs]

Hi everyone am getting made redundent in 7 weeks as a we cheer maself up am gona get 19s for my octy vrs. Is there gona b any probs with fitting these at all car will be lowered 35 to 40 mm as well. The wheels am looking at are 8inch wide thinking bout lambo wheels??? Does anyone have them already if so send me piks to see how they look. Any help would be sound:thumbup:

i got 8x20s mtae, im not sur eon how much ive got it lowered cos its got coilovers,

my brother got 8x18s on kw springs which are 35mm drop "ish"

and that doesnt catch

both et35s

the only time i can get a faint buzz is a hefty hump back bridge at the national speed limit :orb_lol:

if your looking at a 225 35 19 im sure you are in the area of OKness?

i had mine rite down on 8x18s, it would be a question of how its lowered?

is it shox and springs you got or coilies? or just some springs?

[Monkey Boy]

Should not be a problem. I had 19's on my old octy and the coilovers were all the way down on the back.

Thats a nice one you had thought bout the audi wheels but they been done so many times in scotland that even all the young mums are running those wheels on there bairns prams

[Lloyd55vrs]

if the shox are abit harder then id say you got a more than fair shot mate,

the 8x18s on my bros are just springs and dnt catch, so if you got the shox too then they should be abit firmer :orb_hypno

you not tempted for coilies lol

i dont know what you mean about the A8s lol

love em :orb_blow_

[skovrs]

A mean they been done to death. But everytime a see one on those wheels it makes me want to get them for mine as a think they look better on octys than any golf. Where did the splitter on the red one come fae and if a do go for those wheels where do a get those centre caps:thumbup:

[Lloyd55vrs]

they splitters is ther leon cupra r one mate, goes str8 on and costs under £25 from seat

:orb_jacks

the wheel centers are actualy tailgate badges

I can't believe how small your brakes look

[RichieVRS]

Mr Pearce youre car looks dirty m8 :P Still love it on the twenties though looks coolio

[Lloyd55vrs]

lol shocking aye mr farmer

the wheels are a tad bigger than the brakes,

335mm or 350 would look good lol

they will get of the todo 1day :orb_devil

[billy2981]

jus a quick one, the LCR splitter needs trimmin down coz it is made to clip into the seat CR bumper but it needs screwing to the octy once the clips are trimmed off.

jus incase you want one.

[Lloyd55vrs]

cheers mate :orb_not_w

yeah and as for the splitter , all i found i had to cut off was the 2 bits on the front that would clip up into the cupra , they come of easy enuff with sumin sharp .. lol

i done the mrs fabia at gone 11 at nite in my brothers garage , :orb_bonk:

i reken they are a great mod, cheap and easy to do , and make a surprising dofference to the front of the car

I love my splitter but it can be a nuisance too.

I am on splitter No 2 now.

First one i partially ripped off parking up to a kerb about 45 minutes after fitting it, refitted it and was more cautious and have not repeated that mistake. Eventually changed it after a few mountainous speed bumps took there toll on its looks.

Second one is ok for now but when i drop it the 20mm or so the H&R's are going to lower it by it may have to go :thumbdwn:

[Lloyd55vrs]

noooo it cant go, they r only cheap :orb_wise_

buy bulk lol

[skovrs]
