I know, it's killing me how high it sits compared to others with S techs. I am thinking of installing Tanabes to drop it more and hopefully that will satisfy me until the turbo build is finished.

I want to go aggressive, im lowered on S-Techs. Here are the two specs im thinking 18x9 or 18x10 with +20? I can get my fenders rolled. I however dont want to get new tires, I think their 225/45/18 or 225/40/18. I dont mind a semi stretched look.

go with the 18x10 and you will need a fender roll at a minimum. I needed that plus a little shaving to the rear bumper tab and fender at 17x10 +25 so you will most likely need more work

I would need to shave the tabs too? even with semi stretched tires? Approximately how much camber do you think I would need to run? They are stock alighment specs right now.

^ Get some pictures when you finish!

If anyone is looking for some nice Work Varianza I have a nice set with good offset/width

Or else I will get rid of my Volks and run the Varianza.

PM me
