Aggressive wheel fitment thread/stance

You can assume whatever you want, but both cars are stage 2 and daily driven pretty hard. Just because you don’t know how suspension works doesn’t mean we don’t.

You have nice roads as that setup would guarantee bacon fenders here.

You’ve never driven in Orlando, which is obvious by that statement. They may not be as trashed as NY but far from “nice”.

"daily driven pretty hard" what does that even mean?

Huhh...I assumed you’d be able to decipher that “code” since you obviously know what driving a car “hard” is (I used your own words).

Got around to finishing up my MSS fully adjustable sports kit. Rears installed a week and a bit ago, still got about 10mm left on the adjusters. Fronts cranked to min height, installed yesterday. As you can see, my rear camber is sort of iffy haha, needs alignment. Hopefully the fronts settle enough such that I don't need to crank the rear up for rake:

The fog makes these pictures even cooler. Well done all around.

How does the MSS sport kit ride now? I was curious about this kit as I don't have DCC, would like a mild drop, some better squat/cornering control without destroying the ride.

I am looking to do the following setup on my MK7.5 GTI:

- Bilstein PSS10
- Rotiform 19x8.5 et45 wheels
- 235/35/19 tires (probably Nitto NT555 G2)

I have the following questions:
- Will I have rubbing issues while lowered on PSS10 on the front?
- Which spacer size (5mm or 10mm) will allow the rear to be more flushed? I don't want the wheel to poke out.
- Will adding spacers on the rear cause rubbing issue?

Thanks in advance guys!

To my recollection Bilstein’s don’t typically go super low. Honestly, I think your setup will be just fine without spacers. You’ll probably rub with them (spacers) depending how low you are.

I had 19x8.5 et45 but the PO installed 215/35/19 tires on them so... little less meat and I didn’t rub

You are correct, you can't really "slam" the car with PSS10 and I am not looking to set the ride height that low too.

Thanks for your info! I did see your earlier posts when I was going through the thread, but I wanted to make sure on 235/35/19 tire size. I can't go with 215 since road conditions are horrible here for me. I even thought about going with 245/35/19, but I've searched before and seen others said it'll rub.

Your car looks awesome! Definitely looks like the "flushed" look I am going for.

I will go with the setup without spacers. And then adjust from there if I want to be more aggressive.

I think that is a good idea. 235's should be just fine. That's what I was going to put on there when I needed to change the tires.
