    lol ok if you want your r32 to look like a ****ing joke, go ahead and put those ****in ugly looking TOO wide wheels on your ride. HPA id it. I mean they also worked on all 4 wheel wells and made it look natural. but by all means, go ahead and disgrace this beast with some ghetto looking ****. However the dude that replied to my last post make an interesting point. Meaning some poeple are different. They like the big ass turbos and the raunchy ass rims, thats their style. Go ahead, just done be madd when someone important looks at your ride and gives you a very unserious face and says take that joke to the dump. Im drunk, and i was happy untill i saw that car. lol have a good one fellas.

    This thread is full of win.

    The GTI looks awesome. I test fitted some 18 x 9.5 et 35 rota torques and I loved them.

    Don't let people hate.

    It's an R32, not a Cayman S.

    loling at your drunk old ass just rambling on talkng about nothing but how you care what other people think of you. Someone important???? hahaha what kind of statement is that. Do you work on Wallstreet?. You must really care of what other think of you and in that case you should prolly hide bc we all now think you are gay and a buddle of useless information when it comes to giving advice on wheels. Have another one and keep that blurred vision going and maybe you will think that stock ride height is cool too

    I dont think so, I think only the rear is different.. our track is more narrow on the rear

    there it is again. they don't fit. If I buy a pair of Jeans I get 32x32's in Levi Carpenters, they fit. when I was younger I could fit my 30x30's. I can do the same today, but breathing is a rather tasking when doing so.

    They don't fit! They don't fit, They don't fit!

    I think your problem is that you still wear carpenter pants.

    Then by your example, wouldn't wheels/tires that don't 100% fill the wheel well be like buying pants a size or two too large?

    I run 8.5" wheels up front.
    I have 225 tires.
    Also running 5mm spacers.
    My fenders are cut as well.

    Lowered on PSS9's I get some slight rubbing up front. I drive the car very hard, I love it.

    The reason people on the internet love ridiculous cars is because they are mostly young folks. You wanna run 10" wheels up front with 205 tires? Then do it, who cares?? Slam dat pig on bags too! While you at it add a roll cage and sum 12's in da boot. Jam dat DupStep round the track or down da strip. Then, brag bout ya track car in the garage.

    If you roll'n a real car to the track why would you sport a geeked out Golf to work. STFU
    *R32 1518*, biggest head ever to fit in a GOLF!

    No. My pants do not have suspension nor the travel required for the suspension to function.

    I'm running Rota G-Force wheels 18 x 9 215/35/18 with 4mm spacers up front, 15mm spacers in the rear with rolled fenders. Iv had them on for about a year and a half with minimal issues. Just one cracked wheel, but i was able to have it repaired. Los Angeles roads can be killer.
