What Should I Do?

[My GT TDI]

Wheels and tyres have been ordered 5 weeks, MAYBE here before Friday.:thumbdown:

Coilovers have been on order less than a week, and WILL be here before Friday.:thumbup:

Garage is booked for Saturday!:bow:


So the question is,

If my wheels don't arrive for Friday do I still get my car lowered and the alignment sorted or do I wait?
Will the alignment be different for my new wheels eventhough they are only a nat cock bigger?:iono:

If I get it done and my wheels arrive next week I can put them on ready for a Dub meet the following weekend.:help:

just wait, why pay twice when you could just wait a couple of days.

The work in the garage is costing me nothing. My mate is doing it as a favouor as I'm currently in the process or building him a stainless petrol tank for his kit car.

The only thing that will cost is the alignment but thats only 40 quid.

wtf is 40 quid

[agpatel]

40 pounds is 40 quid

I say get the car lowered and wait to do alignment after you put the tires one, wont do any damage if you only going to run it for a day or so, plus you are replacing the tires anyways.

thanks for the translation, its the same as 40 nicker.

nicker, quid, dobber, nugget= all slang terms for 1 english pound

[R-Mac06]

is 40 quid like us saying 40 bucks?

well back on topic, if its not costing anything then do it but i wouldnt want the headache of going back twice. thats on you though

[My GT TDI]

yes is the same as you saying 40 bucks.

Also back on topic, would I need to go back for another wheel alignment? I'm currently running 205x55x16 and I'm going to 235x35x19, there is very little differance in trye diameter and hight.

[R-Mac06]

it'll take the springs 2 weeks to settle so you really want to get an alignment done after that 2 weeks, and thats why i said i wouldnt want the headache of going back twice, i would just get everything installed at once and then go back in two weeks later for your alignment. wheels size is a component of alignments but the ride hieght is i think a little more important.

in cliff notes: wait till everything comes in, do one install and then go back in two weeks for one alignment.

[My GT TDI]

Sweet, thanks for the advice.

I just hope that everything arrives soon. It's like waiting for christmas.

[R-Mac06]

NP and GL.

dont forget pics when everything is installed.

[R-Mac06]

P.S. what did you end up getting anyways?

[My GT TDI]

Eta Bate Tettsul 19x8 for the front 19x9 rear. rubber is 235x35.

Getting dropped on Bilstein PSS coilovers.

All going on a Diamond Black GT TDi.

[My GT TDI]

Wheels are coming from Italy, the coilovers from Germany.
