Howdy!
i've been trolling this forum since last summer and finally got some funding together to begin working on my stance!
A little about me:
I'm still in college so most "ultra baller" parts arent going to be visiting my car any time soon.
I am going to school for product design/industrial design.
I have an internship as a manufacturing engineer.
A little about my car:
2003 vw jetta 1.8t
5spd with 118k miles and still runs like new
so far its mostly stock save a motor mount and the badgeless front end.
I'm still a bit new to stance so I figured the best way to get started was to order up some budget coilovers and scour craigslist for a few decent wheels and see what I like.
anyways enough chat here is what I have done so far.
Then I found these on craigslist:
5x114.3 17x8 bbs rx202's
the tires mounted on them are far to big for my car and the adapters that came with them push the tires out quite a ways.
I'm thinking thinner adapters in the front and drop the 245/45/17 tires down to a 215/45/17 and they will look much better!
Wednesday I'm planning to pick these up barring anything unusual like having them sold out from under me:
BBS RC090 (bmw style 5's)
17x8 et20
the plan for these is to get them re-drilled to 5x100 and hopefully run them with no spacers or perhaps just a small spacer in the back.
so anyways that is my progress thus far!
