How low is it? Is it a coilover kit or 60mm kit?

Now thats SCENE 8) :!:

13's would look great with 8" width and some serious stretch. I remember recommendations being 35-38 BUT no one really listens to recommendations now do they :roll: so the lower the offset the better stance you'll get. However, the loewr the offset then the more likely you'll have to get the outer arches rolled etc and the necessity of stretch.

Go ahead with the plan mate, would look awesome :lol:

i think 15s look ideal on mk4s personally. 13s are too small really, 14s look ok though.

a decked car sitting on tiny wide rims heads towards mroe euro. To get a better stance with less issues you'd have to get smaller rims although most opt for 15's.

Are you sure your suspension is a 60 mm kit? because mine is an 80mm philJ kit and it doesnt bottom out, only on speed bumps. Or are you still running on original shocks?

Yeh, every company will have slightly different springs, therefore feel and ride slightly different. Obviously generally what you pay for is what you get.
