Runs amazing , The spool of the G series turbos are unreal. It makes about 850sh Wheel on stock motor / cluches / ecu..

Nice. But that is a really tight fitment. No way you could fit 18s I'd think.

That's pretty cool. I LOVE the ceramic coating, I've never seen it in that color before your car.

18s wouldn't fit over the brakes - the limit on 18s is usually around a 14/14.5" rotor, depending on wheel design.

Here are a couple of pics with a 14" rotor with an 18" SSR - you can see they are very tight, and there is no way I could get a 15" rotor on without a 19" wheel. This is also a smaller 6 pot caliper than the one on the TTs.

wow, lots of great info.
Baz, amazing how tight that is but nice to see you running it.
do you have the car lowered any?
i wouldnt think, but I figure there are no dumb questions.... if it is lowered pretty low, would that change the way the wheels and tire will sit and possibly cause it to rub?

It wasn’t lowered when I had them on last year . I actually just threw on a set of GMG spring few weeks ago and put on my stock wheels . This shouldn’t effect anything .. 👍🏽
