GTI fitment question

[ShadowWabbit]

i wasnt trying to be a dick but there is no second pic... i think ur looking at Ignapu's signature lol which is of a nicely pulled fender and cambered wheel

I have a question. Why have you settled on the 2.5in drop? Whats the reasoning behind that exact number? There is no formula that you can plug variables into, it varies depending on what your looking for.

Maybe a better way to go about this is to find a pic of a mk4 you like, and then we can help a little more by telling you what it took to achieve that.

Edit: i just realized you were talking about the sig pic. That car is on air, with pulled fenders, camber shims and 18x11in wide rears with something like a 225/35 or 225/40 on the wheel.

so in short:

So, if I wanted to do a 2.5 inch drop and stretched tires like the second image would I be able to pull that off with 17x9s all around?

No.

There is no stretch in that picture... But I guess ur half retarded and want to be exsactly 2.5inches lower and have 15x10s so gud luck

I'm talking about the second picture with the cambered rear wheel. Dude, if you wanna talk shit, go somewhere else. I'm not presuming to know anything which is why I'm ASKING questions about what will and won't work. You're not useful to me.

dont get anything smaller than a 17 inch wheel will look like poop otherwise. to prove my point:

Troll the vortex 5x100 wheel classifieds. 17s at least!

[vRbeHavior]

Why do you want such small wheels for such large fenders?

MK3 or MK4?

Well I'm completely new when it comes to setting up a good stance. I thought 15s would help with clearance on a 2.5 to 3 inch drop.

They have the pro/challenger series available in a 15x9 for $85 each, and you can run as little as a 2" backspace on them.

Yea, the pro challenger series with "d" holes is what I'm looking at.

So would i need to roll AND pull the fenders if I wanted to do 15x9s all around? Its a Mk 4. Also I don't see why a Mk 4 with 15s would be a huge fail.

Seriously? MK4 fenders are way too big to properly fit 15s. 16s look like dog dick on a MK4 too so 15s will only be worse. It honestly would look like a minitruck or something with tiny wheels

[vRbeHavior]

What kind of GTI? MK4 with 15s = huge fail. MK3 with 15s is fine but good luck getting the offsets right for a 9 up front. Zero chance you can fit a 10 up front on a MK3 with stock fenders
