ge0rdie Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Im thinking about buying a lupo gti but want to lower it and keep the original wheels.Could anyone please post some pics they might have of lowered lupo gti's.Also what sort of spacers (if any) could i put on the wheels to widen the stance and help fill the arches?Cheers Ge0rdie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Here's a couple of mine... border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Totally standard apart from KW V1 coilovers wound down about 50-60mm I'd say. 195/45 on the front 205/45 on the rear.Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ge0rdie Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Cheers guys, nice motors! any info on wheel spacers anyone?also on abit of a budget of £5500, could i still get an ok gti for this price?ge0rdie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) There's a few on autotrader for around that price. This one looks interesting at £5,495. As does this one at £5,495Better with hub centric spacers like these...If I go down to 195/45 tyres on the rear I was thinking of putting 10mm spacers to widen the rear stance a little to compensate for the loss in tyre width.R Edited July 27, 2007 by Silver!

vworks41 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 This is mine with a 40/50mm drop. I also use 8mm spacers on the back, but if i ran bathursts all the time i would go for 10 to 15mm spacers. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
