They will OK I reckon... just look a bit weird in that photo! Don't fill the arches properly somehow.... maybe just me. Get some full-car pics when its on flat ground!

I know, it does look weird. Think it will look better when the 20mms are on the back :)

I'll get a full car shot tonight, although don;t laugh at the dirtyness, it's awful!

why so much lower now?

im worried about lowering mine with 50mm springs and shocks now...although the FR is slightly lower anyway so hopefully should be no problem

Not sure :lol: might just be me, but they are smaller wheels, so look low.

50mm on yours will be sweet man, get it fitted and put it on it's arse!

Splitter wise i'm fine as I have the pre-facelift bumper. What I do scrap all the time is the bloody undertray :rolleyes:

17" wheels will make the overall floor to wheel arch heigh more though that say mine I would guess. Looking forward to seeing pictures of yoru kit. When you getting it fitted?

Because you car is new-ish and low miles everything should be reasonibly ok. Mine was a right bugger!

Could have a go yourself, think changing shocks/srpings is easier than just springs...

I haven't seen them on a MK4 either, my dream pair of wheels, always liked them. 8" rear as well, so with 25mm spacers :D

I do love the peppers as well, they just fit over the sport calipers!

Indeed Mike. Came with 25mm all round adaptors as well! and tyres.

Just been speaking to a mate though, he says because the adaptors are aluminium i'll need aluminium bolts? Not steel ones?
