updated: 3/2/2011
so i just thought id update this a little bit.
i have gotten the sawblades on. coils on. new head lights and bumper markers and side markers.
i still need to get the fenders rolled but that should be coming within the next month hopefully.
also need to clean the wheels up and figure out what to do with them

35 mm adapters
4 17x9.5 sawblades w/ 225/45/17's on them

I'm not a fan of sawblades but I can tell you you're gonna need smaller tires.

also i need help deciding what to do with the wheels color wise. should i paint them, if so what color? just strip them down, or strip them and them?

Deffinately strip them and them.



Long way to go, but you'll get there.. Wheel colour choices/finished are a hard one, I honestly dont know what would work well on sawblades..

polish them, i corrected the post. i am planning on going smaller to get some decent stretch

you will definately need to go down to 215/45 and roll your fenders.

Pretty sure he said he plans on running a 225. And a 225 on a 9.5" seems like a good stretch to me considering he plans to daily the car.

Anywho, glad to see ya over here Justin. I'm surprised no one has asked you about the "pink car in the background"

polished centers with inside the holes

no. you need a 215/45. 225 will be too big for a mkiv. and if you're going to be a va-jay jay about daly-ing this, then you need to go with a less agressive setup. i have a feeling you don't quite understand how wide a 9.5 is on the front of a mkiv. you will need to be very low to avoid mexi poke, which even as high et as you can fit without rubbing your strut, there's quite a bit of poke.

i would second that you want 215 45's, if you get 225 i dont think you will be happy as it is barely a stretch. i have had 215 45's on my daily driven sawblades with no problems at all, i drive ALOT too and on some shit roads. just my thoughts, good luck! (and white on red is always cool i think)

get rid of those wheeels.

somebody ran 9.5's all around on a black jetta, it was on here, and i cant remember his tire size or username for the life of me

I'm running zri in 9.5 all around on a mkiv gti. 215/45 and I want to go smaller. Et 18 with only 4 credit card gap between thewheel and coilover body. I'm not just talking out of my ass
