Yeah what Kris said 215/40/17
Anyway today I put in my AAC Link kit and GT Spec Reinforcement Panel. Was a pain in the butt with a cold but got it done, brought the rear wheels in 20mm, can now stick my hand between the wheels and rear guards, wheel alignment getting done tomorrow, will be adding some camber bolts to the rear and getting some camber put in the front to tuck the front wheels under the guards

No more mexican fitment in the back haha.... Now where should I begin.. Friday I grabbed a full tank of fuel and all of a sudden I was in Scrub City! God that place was annoying, I blame the mexican joyriders in the back of my car. Well today I raised the rear of the car 15mm, took it for a drive, rubbed once or twice, was like I think its time I slotted my coilovers to get more camber out of them and that's exactly what I done Slotting the rear coilovers an extra 15mm Hit a little snag when I put it all back together and back on the ground.... I had the handbrake off and still wasnt able to move.. took a look on how close my wheel was to my coilover and... well.... it was a little toooo close.... Backed off the camber adjustment a little, I now have about 5mm of room between the wheel and coilover. Put it back together again... this whole thing is all trial and error haha, took it for a drive and YAY no more Scrub city and no more mexicans in the back, I am quite happy how it sits now, I went and gave the car a bath and took some photo's with the S3 Still have to paint and fit my front brake kit, and fit my V Brace bars |

grab some wedges (for hammer handles etc) to tap in between strut and hub spindle for security, will avoid possibility of movement causing sidewall destruction.

why don't you get the right f'ing wheels instead of all these hack jobs? the car is going to handle like crap, and you're going to go through tyres like crazy with no proper alignment
