Re: Alloys

are they 19x8.5j and ET45 yeah? my speedlines were 19" ET48 8.5J so yours would stick out 3mm further than mine, so would be pretty much a perfect fit as my wheels were VERY close to the front suspension mount, was going to put a 5mm spacer in there. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4129/52020665...

Re: lowering and wheels

Should be all good mate, most people run 19's. i ran ET40 and 7.5 easy fit, no rubbing, plenty of room in the arches :) depending on how much you want to spend, id always go for coilovers. Just easier to have that adjustment if you want it. If you were interested in coilovers, im thinking of selling...

Re: Anyone running coilovers without the adjusters in the rear?

Yeah i think at the bottom is the normal for most cars, my Polo was at the bottom.

but pretty certain the adjusters go at the top on the b6. my adjusters wouldnt go at the bottom and fit perfectly at top.

what coils you on mate? any pix of the set up, im intrigued to see how it looks :???:
