I can't help with the wheel question but PLEASE don't apologise for your English.
I'm English born & bred. Can I speak your language? No!
The day I can speak Polish or Greek THEN you should feel embarrassed I am humbled
Bloody Well Done. :agree:

Funny you should say that because when I read "I can send some pictures if it helps to understand the problem (I know that my english is lame" I had to re-read it to try and find any mistakes.....I couldn't.

Hello Kuna,

I have almost the same kit as you, though I'm using '86 944T stub-axles, 215/40ZR17 and my Cup2's are the MM 7.5et52 which should give you 3mm more clearance on the inside and your outer rim should be nearly 10mm further under the wheel arch than mine. Incedently, I measure the same 2-2.5cm between the spring and my inner rims with camber set at -1.5*..


I'm surprised you have such little clearance between the coil spring (80mm?) and the tyre if your wheels are sticking out beyond the fender edge.

As JIMP mentions there is an eccentric bolt on the inner end of the track control arm and also on stub-axle/strut clamp. These both affect wheel camber, but also allow a small (5-10mm each side) adjustment of track width irrespective of camber. Which helps when trying to fit huge wheels under stock fenders

Yeah, I use that 'trick' as well; otherwise my right wheel would be slightly more inward (1 or 2 cm) than the right one.
It also helps that I use early Golf I struts (with beetle perches) which have an additional eccentric bolt on the lower strut mounts (the upper one is eccentric).

Lake Bala: Haha, its just an excuse for a picture of your (very nice!) 03

Best regards,
Walter
