So I just installed my Supaloy control arms(6000k...whatever) and have no issues at all with clearance. I am running RSE10s 18x8.5 et 45 with G Force Rivals in size 245-40. They run wider than a couple other tires in that class.
With the wheel turned full lock either direction there is still maybe 3/16" between the tires and the louvered area in the wheel well. Have not heard the slightest scrape while driving and turning full lock in a parking lot. If it rubs at auto X who gives a shit.
I also used the new MQB deadset kit for the install since I had to drop the subframe and the steering wheel is perfectly centered and the car tracks straight afterwards. There may still need to be some slight tweeks on an alignment rack but I cant tell based on driving. Freaking awesome.
While I had the car on the lift I decided to throw on the 034 Motorsport dogbone insert(V2) and rear subframe inserts. I don't really notice any extra NVH when driving normally. However, when you get on it you get this great raspy feel in your seat, wheel and pedals. I also smoothed out downshifts that would feel jarring in the car before.
The Supalloys give so much more road surface feel. Enough that you can actually sense the traction in the front wheels, something damn near impossible before. There is a hell of a lot more grip up front as well.
Very happy with all my mods so far and cant wait to install the MSS springs, IE camber plates and Eurocode strut tower brace.
