WAY quieter and comfy. Can't wait to take the lady out, now.
Lighter wheels, more rubber, better rubber, too much happening at the same time!
Traction feels great, obviously.
I will be driving this upcoming Saturday in a car club cruise with 30+exotics, so I'll write more after that.

Now I gotta check out these PSS' when my Conti DW's wear out. Been hearing nothing but awesome stuff about them, even though they come at a premium. The DW's won during my last decision because of the cheaper price and longer tread life.

Gotta love that LMB.

GENTS!
Beautiful day in Philly today.
Installed the rear spacers.
Wow, what a difference, the job is now complete!

Nicely done---car, composition, limited depth of field, lighting.

Ron1n · 04-03-2013, 05:36 PM

FWIW, in going through this thread again, on OEM 18's, I was able to fit 275/35's without rubbing and no spacers. As long as the wheel will support it, I would have more rubber to the ground than smaller tire + spacers. Just my 2c.

I thought u were rubbing? Looks badass, saw pics.

Ron1n · 04-03-2013, 06:50 PM

Not on my original 18's, I wasn't. The ones on the car now are different...different wheels, different tires.

Crawler · 05-29-2013, 02:54 PM

Great looking ride and and photography Ryebread.

Still no signs of rubbing?

Cheers.

GreekboyD · 05-29-2013, 04:17 PM

I rub the odd time with my 265/35/18 PSS in the rear.

Crawler · 05-29-2013, 04:48 PM

Lowered or stock RH?

Cheers.

Lowered. The PSS have a wide shoulder on them but I'm not too keen on rolling my fenders. The rubbing isn't too bad and rarely happens. I know how to avoid it.

Ah, lowered. At stock RH I assume, in the absence of 500 lbs of in-laws in my back seat, under heavy corning I should not experience rubbing with a similar wheel/tire/spacer setup.

Cheers.

Most likely not. I'm not running any spacers.

To what setup are you planning on going?

going back to boring.

Formerly, it was a full-time Summer setup, on the BMW. And I would drive a Jeep in the snow.

At this point:

Golf R on Conti Extreme DW Summers with OZ wheels, during the warm months.
Golf R on OEM wheels and OEM all seasons, during the cold.
335D on OEM wheels and Conti Extreme DWS full-time.

I will use the 335D for work trips, touring with the wife.
The Golf is used for car club cruises, track, occasional work duty.

'13 Golf R on VWR Springs, 18x8" OZ Superturismo LM et 48, no spacers by Ryan Philly, on Flickr

The 335D is great, but it's a pig, now, compared to the Golf. 3,825 lbs.

The Golf is tuned (APR stage 1.5), rocking 335hp, 338trq, awd (controllable), weighs in at 3,280 lbs, manual trans. it's just too much fun!
