Mod help 1.9tdi

[laney]

Hi guys this is my first attempt at modin a car,
Its rolling on r32 replica wheels but as you can see in the dp it rides high.
so my next move was to lower it and may be change the wheels but
how big can you go before it starts to rub?
I was thinking of lowering so the arch sits level with the top of the tyre.
Any other recommendations to what else i should do would be very helpful

Hi Laney

I went about -50 mm (-60 rubbed OS driveshaft on Anti rollbar)
I'm running 18" x 8" et 35 and no rubbing at all at -50mm

As far as official tyre sizes go, Audi recommends the following tyre sizes :

225 45 R17 91 Y
205 55 R16 91 H
205 60 R15 91 H
195 65 R15 91 H
185 65 R15 88 Q (Winter tyres)

Any other tyre sizes risk causing problems, especially if the vehicle is lowered.

Hope this helps you out :thumbsup:

Hi Laney

Joms have been Great
I checked the damper caps where tight (they where tight) and they work great.
Make sure you grease the front spring adjuster threads but perfect otherwise.

i have no rear adjusters fitted to get back lower

My Tyres are 225 40 18 and no rubbing at all.
