She big?


As for big V, should see her out and about with her sisters. Amazon would only start to describe them.

Like its driver, very hot in the flesh.

Yeah.. I thought they would grow on me.. But I'm definitely going to Daily Driver/Track Racer the R32 now, the whole stance thing with the R messed with the handling etc..

Wow really?

It will be because of your staggered rims Tim, they always recommend running all wheels at the same rolling radius i.e. same width and tyre profile especially on 4wd cars. Prolonged use of staggered rims can damage haldex etc from my research.

Yup! the different offsets, widths of rims and the tyre sizes made it difficult to throw the R into a corner i usually take pretty hard. felt uncomfortable and unsafe..

just to clarify
Stock MK5 R32 wheels
18x7.5 51et all around
225/40/18 tyres

Alphards
18x8.5 35 et front
215/40/18
18x9.5 40et rear
225/40/18

More poke, stretched tyres, different offsets and widths did have an effect on the haldex. But not noticeable enough until: you really corner hard that right hand bend up the slope with no camber on the road. The r32 understeered through it, when it always GRIPS like caked on bird crap on your bonnet.

definitely going lighter wheels and a R32 diet! :)
