dude to be real, the damn car scrapes everywhere! the bottom of the oil pan was dented in heading to fixx fest and now with the skid plate driving the car is a hard enough job. the skid plate scrapes and freaking pulls road markers up lol. Id say give it a rest, sorry i even commented earlier if it was going to be a sore subject, just made an observation........
thanks allwheel. awfilms: staggered blades wrapped in falken 502s 205-40r-17 and i tuck front and back at least the tread caps. skid-plate was definitely needed. i really don't feel like replacing my oil pan ever. present clearance is 1/2 inch to 2/3 inch plate to ground. iskrape everywhere!
btw: i can go the extra 1/2 all the way around buy i probably wont be able to move.
Well there's the reason you can't go lower but it doesn't look super low. 205/45/17 is the size to go with on a MK4 to get the lowest and close up the most wheel gap. 205/40/17 is a baby tire that hardly fills the arches on a MK4 and they can get you low but will leave much more wheel gap than a better sized 205/45 or 215/40. If you want to hit less things and scrape less, get proper sized tires for the car
nice jetta, the tire size on the vr is due to the tires were new and on his montes, pointless to buy new tires when these were straight, so he had them mounted on the vett wheels.
205/40's suck on MK4's. You're BARELY tucking the front tires and you say you can't go lower?
I'm way lower than you on 215/40's from ground to fender height.

Man, sorry, but that 1st picture just shows how correct tire sizes play a huge role in stance. Your tires are too small for the drop of the car. Plus it doesn't even fill up the well at all. 215/40 and 205/45 is much better for the fronts.

False on most dropped MK4s being 1.8ts. There are plenty of super low VRs that are static
Yes this is static and its a 24v
i never said vrs dont go static. its just a safer route. and if you scroll up
:: already stated:::
i dont have great plates to center the wheel so the rake is atrocious, a side pic would show this. thinking next time around 215s, great plates and 1.3in spacers in the back instead of 1s. i dont even have my fenders rolled.
215 will fill the gap nicely. i already knew this. i had the 205s first.
I'm not saying the car looks bad or sucks, but the tire sizes aren't warranted and looks goofy for a MK4.

Tire size aside, you have hella space from the top of your wheels to the bottom of your fender.
I don't know VW's that well, but I see them WAY lower, static, all the time. So I'm willing to bet that "clearance shot" of your pan, was a bullshit pic. Slammed, shot, and raised.
