    I'm on H&R's too. It was the rear wheel arch lip that had me worried. Others have used a 10mm spacer on the rear. Mine appears to have a fair bit of room, could be the shape of this perticular tyre I supose. A bit of arch liner rubbing I can live with

          I'm over the moon with them pal

          They look better than I had expected, I even like the very slight stretch on the tyre.

            I thought we had to use 15mm spacers for these wheels bud. That's what I have anyway.

            2 sets of wheels??? Your mrs is lucky! Mine has 4 sets! Admittedly only 2 look good lol. Still my beetle has 6 sets and my T4 3.... Admittedly one set needs a refurb n tyres. Tell your mrs to quit her jibber jabber lol

              Just going by what I read bud regarding 15mm spacer on rear of avant, the style of tyre could be key here.

                  I think i agree with you as on his car being silver they look awsome. I wonder if anyone knows what the weight difference is.

                      I thought I'd found an old photo of my car for a second. Wish mine was black.

                          I think it may have been, I'll dig the papers out tomorrow and have a look see.

                          Got off my **** and just checked, no where near it! Mine's from Camberley Surrey.
