Hey!
Just ordered myself a new set of wheels along with new tyres. But im starting to get a little nervous about the fitment. So i thought i would ask you guys what you think.
The wheelspecs are 17x8J ET 33 with 215/40/17 tyres.
Im planing to lower the car aswell with a H&R cup kit 25/40
Is it going to be too agressive if i want to be able to ride with 3 people and get no rubbing
?

I have 17x8j wheels with 215/40r17 on and I think it looks great without lowering it, I would regularly have 3 people in the back about 255kg total person weight in the back seats, and it sits quite low. But I have mudflaps so it's a different kind of low

I have mine on 16'' offset is 35 if im correct. 215/50/16. Its lowered with H&R springs 35mm front 55mm back.
Do you guys think i should take the mudflaps off the car ?. Would it look alot nicer ?. I want your opinions
So this is how it looks lowered right now with the mudflaps in the front.
(P.S. Ignore that pepsi glass on top of the car )

It's honestly personal preference no point styling your car and spending money on it for others approval just do what works for you.
I personally like mudflaps and gets handy as it keeps the dirt away (with 8J wheels I recommend them).
Also I think you have a long mudflap on the front instead of the shorter ones theres a long and a short variant

Oh ok. Is it possibel to buy the shorter ones at vw ?. I really dont like these because everytime i go down a little drop it scrapes the ground. I would love to have them shorter.

Well then, i guess ill have to mount them and try to measure and see if it would work with the cup kit.
