SupermanDan01 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Might need slight arch rolling, i did on my 1.4 but not sure if lupo gti arches are slightly wider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyd Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm pretty sure they are wider but not sure if they'd make a difference because I think the drive shafts are possibly longer aswell have you got a pic of yours with them on ?

JoeA Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 If you have a gti they should be fine providing you're not running stupid lows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
