best way to fill my arches

Can anyone tell me the best way to fill my golf gti wheel arches? What size alloys/tyres or spacers are required? It would be a great help.

If its simply for looks, then I think you're going down the wrong track. A little bit of lowering & keeping the stock alloys and ET, is wot I did.

I have the original 9 spoke on the golf at the moment and a set of 15" bbs alloys which are in need of a refurb. Would lowering the koni adjustables and sticking on the bbs do the job?

it depends on who you ask

Paul C's is LOW with standard alloys on and they fill the arches, check out PROJECT HOF link below and I've 14" P's and lowered about 60mm ish and they fill the arches.

So it really depends on how low you want to go, after all, a 195/50 on a 15" rim has the same rolling radius as a 175/70 on a 13" rim..

so if you go for the 15" with say 195/40/15 on they will look smaller then the standards

I have stock wheels and mine fills the arches 15inch i will take a photo is the weather brighten up
do you have a clipper kit?
if i would offer any advice i would pop out our back wheels!! i think i will do that on mine



How much i recon?

ty  

filled?







depends on how you mean filled i suppose and how much arch work your willing to do,this is 8x15 et20 lowered lots and a large amount of arch work,the ding in the wing is from flattening the return lip then bringing that out to the angle of the arch but accidently going beyond and kinking the upper portion of the wing

definitely 15's…

heres mine…




altho i've gone for 2deg neg camber and the TUCK!



infact we both run 15's

Hey Han looking very nice!! just a inquizative question really, how low have you gone? (guessing coilovers) What tyres are you rolling on? have you had your arches rolled or any other mods ie spacers? And do you scrub any where?

Thanks cris………. I want mine as low as yours!! Looks awesome!

Golf coupe also a fandabydosy car SPOT ON lovin em both two of the nicest i have seen!!!

i'm about 15-20 mm off the lowest on the coils i think, runnign 165-50/15 tyres with a small stretch (much to my dads disgust who keeps giving me teh same lecture about wishbones/tyres/suspension. - just fitted new wish bones at ?10 a piece with bushes ) altho i think after edition and festival she'll go up a bit for a more practical time/going easier on her… then she'll be back down for show season!

Alex's noise maker is pure sex! i love it sooo much…

Yeh I know what you mean my dad is always on at me bla bla bla coilovers bla bla bla alloys he did say your car was very tidy when he saw it!! so that was good    I was looking to put different tyres on mine lower profile ect i like the look of yours!! Do you scrub anywhere?? I bet you struggle to get your jack under there! I know i do lol still looking good tho and i bet it handles like a beast as well!!
Where are you in the UK?

i'm in york - north east.

Car doesnt scrub or rub at all but im Tucked! jacking is an issue so i have to drive onto wood.. but to be honest it still drives onto ramps at garages without catching

Wheels are good for this
