Re: 17" b6 highline alloys on b5.5

Im running audi 6 spoke rims with the same size tyres without spacers on coilovers, and as already stated the fronts are very close to the top arms but don't rub. The rears just clear the rear arches even with 2 adults in the back too.

b5 rear coil overs

Ive recently got myself a 1.8t saloon. Previous owner said it was on coil overs, and yes it appears the front is. My problem is that the adjusters for the rear arent there. Can these be bought seperately or am i going to have to buy a complete rear set up?.
