Geared for mkii's, but works well for any car.

SWEET! I always new I was roughly 3-5 mph over what I'm really going. Now I know...3mph. very very good tool.

needs a widebody layout

EL PAALO · 02-12-2007, 07:06 PM

wouldn't be terribly effective imo since each widebody has much more variation than oem fenders

Widebody flush starting point is roughly 8.5 +20 front and 10 +20 rear.
You can use the calculator to compare your planned wheels against that, but I definitely suggest taking measurements from whatever wheels you have at the moment to make sure that's close enough for your installed kit. A little metal to tire contact isn't too bad on a small scale compared to tire to fiberglass contact ........ goodbye fender.
