As you can see I have a set of sawblades that are 9.5 wide all the way around. I bought 2 adapters at 25mm wide not knowing if i was going to use them on the front or rear. This is them on the front and how much clearance I have which is less than a finger. :cry: I obviously dont have my coilovers on yet but I need help deciding if I should order 20mm adapters for the front so I dont have as much poke or do I put those on the front and order 30mm adapters for the rear and have massive poke all the way around and not go as low as I would like. As for tires im looking at 205/45s all the way around. That should give me a good amount of stretch. Side note I have never seen another B5 run 9.5 sawblades on all 4 corners before. If I am wrong please point me in a directions of someone who has.:wrench:
