Philplop Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I run 165/50's.What's the offset?GTI or non-GTI?How low are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LupoDan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Im pretty low on coilovers and going to be running Schmidt Modernlines when they arrive on Wednesday.It is a GTi, pretty low on FK's.I've ordered 195/45/15 but keep looking at the Schmidts on GTis and looks like im going to get big rubbing on front end...Would a 185 be better on the fronts and leave the backs on a 195?Thank you.

Philplop Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Chris260 used to run quite low on Modernlines with 195/45's, but he got a fair bit of scrubbing.Rolled arches might be your best bet.I'd prefer to run 185's at the narrowest on an 8, but that limits you to Nankangs. I plan to stick to 195's from now on, 165's are a bit too much I think.The narrower you are, the more clearance you'll have, just depends how far you want to take it.

Guest LupoDan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Ill stick with 195/45/15 that ive ordered.See how I get on, going away on August 6th, so ill scrub for a couple of weeks and then leave it with bodyshop or whatever, tell them to stop the rubbing.
