Scirocco Register

Argh, just gone to fit the coilovers and wheels to my gtx, the rear went in fine, wheels looking good but the front is a different story! The wheel was hitting the caliper, so I spaced the wheel out but now its sitting too far out. Looks odd and handles even worse! I was hoping a 9X16 would go on but obviously not. Anyone else done the same or do i need to find a set of 7.5x16's?

Shame as it looks ace with them fitted

can't see those working at all tbh.

7's on the front are the real world max in either 15'' 0r 16'', i have done both, see scala and 16v 'a16 gtx' project threads

I'm running Borbet T's with 9" on the rear and 7"s on the front. I tried the 9's on the front as I had the same thought but is just wasn't happening.
Could space the fronts out a bit?

I've spaced the fronts out, now they fit but stick out way too far (tread is a good 1" outside of the arch area)

I need to find some 7's.....

I have 8's on the front and 9's on the back with mine, no spacers.Tyres are stretched on tho'

8s are the limit. I've even seen 8s on without stretch but arch liners were removed. I think you'll have to find someone with narrower borbet a's and swap 2 of yous wheels. I'm sure they'd welcome the swap and may even throw some cash your way too as they're gaining width.
