CC Owners: Suspension/Wheels/Tires - with specs & pictures

[hyeedo818]

Do i need spacers if i h and r or eibach springs?

[Veedubin02]

You wont need them but they will make the wheels more flush with the fender which will make your wheel gap look smaller and will just look better.

[Vierzwanzig]

Finally got my new 20" MMR HR4's on the CC. While they were balancing the tires on the new wheels, the guy operating the wheel balancer did not tighten the retaining nut all the way and completely smashed the the inner hub. The wheel shop is buying me a new one, but it will take another week.

That sucks...

I still need to get some spacers and eventually lower the thing... I'm broke for now though.

But here are a few low res before and after pics.

Now that I look at it, I should probably color key the brake calipers with the body.... any thoughts?

What size tires you running?

[Vierzwanzig]

The guy at the shop gave me a good deal on some 235/25/20's.

[hyeedo818]

If i get h n R or eibach springs
Will i be able to hold more mph on turns like more speed before i start losing it
Also do i need anything else other than the $250 springs?

[Power5]

At least 100mph more for sure.

These pics are making me really consider a CC more and more.

[RockNRollRocco]

I am deciding between 19" or 20" rims & tires for my CC.

I am not planning on changing the suspension.

Can I fit 20's and still have a comfortable ride? I'd like to use a 35 series tires if possible. How much larger of a diameter can I go from stock?

Am I better off getting 19's?

What is the suggested offset (I'm thinking 8 or 8.5 wide rims)?

Any help from people with them on their CC's would be great.

I would stick with 19s...20s look a little over the top. 19s look aggressive while still giving the car a clean look. My .02

[GR8CAR]

question´s for you guys,

I do pretend to run some porsche wheel´s on the CC , 19x9 ET will get down to 38 including adapters , wich mean the outer lip will poke out 16 mm and on the inside the space will decrease around 10 mm, also planning to install 245/35 R19 tires , do you think I will be trouble free with this setup?

thanks in advance, and sorry to post it here, but I guess this was the porpouse of this thread

[Veedubin02]

what suspension are you running?

Your setup will sit 3mm further out than mine which will put it just past flush with the inside of the fender you should be fine. and it will be 15mm further in than stock not 10. (if you are running OEM 17s, not sure what wheel you have.)

thanks Veedubin02 I run on stock suspension right now I do not have any near plans to "affect" that fot now, right now I do run on interlagos 18x8 ET41

do you have pic s to see how flush will it sit? thanks man

[Veedubin02]

look through this thread at my rear. you have nothing to worry about running stock suspension though.

[passat_98]

bump. Car's back together

[snow blind]

^ makes me want a CC soooo bad. This GTI is starting to feel cramped, and i could give 2 ****s about speed anymore... hmmmmm, maybe i should stop by the dealer

[EE-CEE-8CH]

What did you do to your turn signals?

Looks better than the standard Euro Clear Turn mod

[passat_98]

they are colormatched with a light coat so it still flashes orange when I use my blinker

and cause I'm a whore

[Veedubin02]

Please tell me you are lowering it soon. Like tomorrow.

[ChrisArmoun]

Lol yes lowering it is in the plans. Wanted to have the wheels first so I could get an idea of how low I want to go. So far I haven't noticed a difference in ride quality and don't want to adversely affect it too much. How is your ride quality with the setup you have?

[Veedubin02]

I love my ride quality and I have 225/35s on my wheels. The only time its worse than stock is on very very rough roads.

[ChrisArmoun]

I live in Baltimore and damn near all the roads are rough here so I doubt I'll be able to go as low as you. I'll probably kill my ride and suspension. It's a tough decision because the lowered stance makes the wheels look much better.
