    im running 16x8 with +12mm offset. they didnt work on front without spacers so i have 1/4in spacers up front so the front pokes a bit. thats why i got the fenders to take care of that poke then ill get some probably 1/2in spacers all the way around.
    The fendera from pick n pull are the way to go though

    thanks for the info, i scooped some 15x8's for cheap and they poke way too much in the front,, even if i had coilovers and some fancy camper plates that dont exist (yet) for our cars. if those flare look the bizniz ill probably pick up a set and slap them on mine. you on 6s?

    hey thats a good idea foe the back seats ima look into that. sjit maybe ill pull it today who knows. i needa fix this damn interior its shit.

    and the fenders came off a later 90s jetta. it was a wolfsburg edition and i think thats why it had them. the VW cabriolets have them too and they should be the same size.

    ima get them mocked up today and hopefully find some color match paimt at the parts store. Thanks for the sub man!

    for the seats im pretty sure rear coupe seats and center console will fit directly and still give you that bucket seat look. im gonna do a full sc2 seat swap from one at my local yard. i like the black fake leather of mine, but their sx1 thus lacking the comfort and side bolsters of the sx2 seats. what year jetta did you rob those flares off of? subbed for diamond steelies and #beigewatch wagon

    now that you mention it a blue similar to the plate would look good. Im thinking possibly Enkei 92s or some similar weave type qheel next. sometime beforw summer.

    thanks for the advice.... i think ill probably do something like that and just keep them until i buy coil overs and can spend the money on better fenders.

    Wide Body (not)

    I found over fenders off of a older jetta at pick n pull. They fit surprisingly well. $15 instead of $140. I painted them over the weekend and am hoping to get them on tomorrow evening . ima do this right and bondo them on and paint with color match paint. im hoping it comes out pretty dope and its not gonna be too crazy. itll more than take care of the poke in the front and some 1/2 in spacers in the back will be perfect.
    Oh..I also got a little sparco tow strap..










    (how i put the bolts to paint the tops)
