    It is more of an optical illusion really.

    For some reason bigger wheels altough the rolling radius and overall size of the wheel remains the same makes the a car look all 4x4'ish.

    On a MK4 it just has to be done !

    No no no no no, NO!

    That needs dropping !

    At least 40mm !

    You see the quotient of tractor-ness is inversly proportional to wheel size where,

    I'm being harsh as sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. If you do drop it you'll thank me. Browse images on ED38, UKMKIV's to understand.
