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

[veedub_rich]

Not a CC owner, but while I was picking up my mk6 GTI this past weekend this was at the dealership, Pete Moore Imports in Pensacola Florida. I thought the Black Thunder Wheels were too sweet not to share.

gorgeous

if I ever get a CC to replace my GTI it will only be treated with Bentley wheels.

[WazzuPassat]

These are amazing, but I would rather see VW emblems

[snow blind]

I would rather see the self leveling Bentley caps

[EvoVEnto]

So there is alot of confusion and thought I would help by making a thread , may we can link to FAQ

I installed my HR springs with oem struts today. I´m running 19" wheels

First feedback: only minimal loose of comfort, cornering little more sporty

As a side note: Comfort is still much greater then in my 08 GTI with oem supsension and 17" wheels.

before.....

much better

[irongrey]

Anyone have or know where I can get a black front grill for the CC???

[Nephurus]

Is it me or is the rear lower then the fornt?

[Blacky1002]

it is, its a known issue with the HR springs.

The wheelhouses are about 2/5 of an inch lower in the back.

Not sure what to do about it yet, but it bugs me a little.
I have theorie, which says, the springs would work with a 3.6 which is about 200lb haevier in the front....

Its not an issue with the springs, the front fenders are larger than the rear and give the appearance of reverse rake. Most springs lower the same in the front and rear so the appearance of reverse rake is more apparent. Its not actual reverse rake though the cars body is flat, its just an appearance created buy the fenders being different sizes. Just to answer the question now, its like this because the front wheels turn so making the front fenders higher reduces the chance of the fender contacting the wheel when hitting a large bump or dip while turning.

I use their 17" DTS wheels with winter tires and after 2 salty winters The chrome is perfect. The backside of the wheels still look good for not ever really being cleaned. I hope these are built just as well, at least they will be around if i need to use wheel/tire insurance.

[EvoVEnto]

bumping , alot of folks need these answers and pics

also great place to ask questions

Nice dude, what is the offset of the fronts and rears?

Need to step my game for this summer and figure out the next set of rollers.

greal, can you get me a pic from the back so i can see the how flush your rears sit? thanks wheels i got coming are et44...so if anyone has suggestions please!

[Veedubin02]

Wayne his wheels are Rotiform BLQs.

How wide are your wheels? I have run 8.5in wide wheels with a et35 that sat what I would say is flush.

How wide are the wheels you getting wayne??? Because if you are running 8.5" wide wheels you will be fine with an 8 mm spacer...possibly get an 11 mm as well...

get a 10mm spacer and you'll be good. I have more camber cause my ish is all the way down but et35 is pretty damn flush

[jisong83]

i love your rims.
is it the q7 rims?
I would like to know some specs on these wheels.
It is quite big for me but i will be intersted in 19s and 18s.

Thanks

[08VWEGG]

That CC on bags is just very wrong - looks horrible on that low setting - completely destroys the design/lines of the CC....

my 2cents...

Check the thread on Rotiforms. Thats what they are and they are 19s.

[EvoVEnto]

matt dead sexy .... heard you ordered set

[crazywayne311]

ha ha thanks well i guess i needed to give a couple more details...the wheels are 19x8 et44.

so should i get a 8mm or 10mm for the rear? running 235's which shouldnt be a huge problem. while we're at it, what should i do for the front?

i was good with my MKV GLI but the CC is obviously different. thanks! wheels should be here this upcoming week. just not sure when they are going on b/c of all this damn snow

Id go 8 in the rear. Have you lowered it yet? If not then then 5-8 in the front.
