marcyd Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi Peeps recently brought some some th line replica's which I'm very please with but been as the backs are 8j and the fronts are 7 I'm having a problem with going lower ordered some brand new coilys aswell because mine are fluucked ...do I roll my arches ? Or replace my brand new tyres so I have more stretch? cheaper option is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 What tyres are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Depends man. You might have to do both. What are the offsets and what tyres have you got on just now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Depends on what you want to achieve really mate. If you like to throw your car about and drive it hard now and again id be careful with stretched tyres. They are fine 9 times out of 10 but iv had a blowout in the past with big stretch and its a pain in the anus.If i were you get your arches rolled and see how it sits.

Deadmetal Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Make the car fit the tyres and wheels.No point in buying wide wheels and then sticking standard sized rubber on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Didnt even see you had a GTI mate! They should work easy, whats the issue, scrubbing?if so, get some camber shims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyd Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 The plan is to drop the front by 15mm and drop the back as far as it'll go ....my coilovers have arived so plan to do it the weekend the backs scrub not sure on the front I've already spent nearlly 200quid on tyres will it be cheaper to go 175/50 on the back or have them rolled ?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'd go for rolled arches and camber, if you're going to downsize the tyres, 185/45. But you shouldn't need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyd Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ill get a price for the rolled arches if it costs more than what tyres will cost ill try the change of tyres thanks for your replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
