Show off those 35's on 3rd gens

My wife's car is white and I was tempted to match lol. My buddy has a new golf GTI and it looks awesome in white too. I just had to get the inferno color after I saw it in person though.

 

My car before the Taco was a mk6 GTI in white. The particular paint they use on those is really fantastic. Looks great in the sun fresh off a wash

 

Yeah, his is a mk7. German paint is always great. The clear coat is a lot harder IMO too making it harder to scratch (but harder to buff).

 

It depends on your wheel measurements. Looks like he's running the 3.5" B.S. f5s, so he will have more clearance issues with the fender than I do with 4.3" B.S. wheels, however, he might not rub the frame above the back of the LCA like I do

 

Best wheel evar (yes i have 2 different colors)

 

35s were installed today. Trimmed fenders and flares, removed fender wells but upgraded splash guards. Had cmc done, relocated suspension reservoir slightly forward and they fit great. No rub at full lock or full stuff

Last pic is before and after comparison

 

Looking good. Surprised you didnt hit at full stuff. At flex I've never experienced rub but when hitting a big enough dip and stuffing it, I've rubbed

 

So far I’ve done light off-roading as kind of a test but when I do hit a big bump I may rub then. I’ll test that next time I go but today it did great. I did install super bumps on the front to help a little

 

Nice! I did timbrens. But I've found myself finding shiny spots quite often. Just from hauling ass in things I probably shouldn't

 

Look at that bumper flex!

 

@rodneyrdm It is hard to tell from the picture but it looks like you had the General Grabber X3 before the KM3. I know you only have had the KM3 for a few days but what are your initial impressions of them compared with the Grabbers?

 

The x3 felt very heavy but a great tire. They are louder than the KM3s as well but that’s about all I’ve noticed so far

 

@JoeCOVA almost there. Tires came in on Thursday via UPS.





Pulled the Liners, and started the CMC, didn’t get any pics, but will get some tomorrow when there’s better light out.

 

Meaty!!!! I literally just redid my passenger side an hour ago lol. I got 1in spacers cuz I was rubbing the frame at full lock and since running them I started to rub on the cmc. If its not one thing its another!

 

Shout out to OP @90yota for the info, and feedback on the 4.88's vs 5.29's

 

thanks you bro! 35s/315s look good flexed

 

@90yota Are those all pro expos with Archive Hangers?

 

I'm about to redo mine aswell. Swapped to deep dish f5s for the same reason, rubbing on frame, now I've got a lot of work to do haha

 

Yup! I'm using the stock shackle with their bushings.

 

Still trimming to fit, it's getting closer. Hoping to be able to push the caster angle a bit more forward to help out before redoing the cmc.
EDIT:
Went out again, I got almost all the rubbing taken care of. The drivers side has enough caster adjustment available to not rub at all, the passenger side not so much. Doesn't rub too bad though, its definitely wheel-able now.
