Thinking of fittin some twists to my 32 sprayed in anthracite ?? Any one seen any pics of any?

 

[simmy]

They look great, I've always wanted to do them, if I've got a pic somewhere, I'll see if I can find it

 

[PaulW]

Check R_Dealing's thread he has twists I'm sure. Or r32_wez has a GTI with twists

 

[ryanjames]

10's on the rear need work to fit, rolling and a tyre stretch at the least. You will need to run 4 tyres that are the same rolling radius.

The best thing to do is buy 4 fronts and use them all round

Why are you so flipping clever! That didn't even cross my mind!

What didnt?

I'll dig out some pics of mine, you won't need to roll te rear arches. On the rear of a mk4 there's no lip to roll, only flaring if you want to get it painted after.

You'll just a healthy stretch and to work the offsets out well.

It'll probably end up being a 225 on a 10 inch rim

 

[PaulW]

Thats serious stretch.

You had 10's on the rear with no flaring/rolling?

 

[PaulW]

225 on a 10

 

[PaulW]

And you will need a bead blaster or hairspray and a lighter

10s will easily fit on the rear no trouble at all I'm running 9.5j on the rear ET13 225 40 18 tyres go strait on

My mate has Turbo II twists on his mk4. If I remember right he had the arches rolled but not to much effect as someone has already mentioned. 8.5J and 10J front and back respectively.

 

[PaulW]

I'd still rather 4x fronts and 4 matching tyres with no crazy stretch.

The 10's will go on but you need stretch. IMO too much stretch

 

[M7NUP]

235 40 18 rear 225 40 18 front having stretch will never handle well , get two sets of wheels

Also the RR is different and the haldex doesnt like that much

235x40/100= 94mm Sidewall
225x40/100= 90mm Sidewall

Remember there is a difference of 6.4mm in RR between a new tyre and a worn one so Haldex will easily handle a 4mm diffetence.

Only concern would be you could get a worst case of 10.4mm with a 4mm sidewall difference.

I was going to mention the tolerance % but i couldnt remember?

My advice would be to always run within the 6.4mm worst case scenario

Yeah but, really struggling to remember the offsets after adapters as they were off a mate for a while!

Not an r32 but a mk4 still






Hope that helps

Theres a chap local runs 11J rears with no arch work at all!
