Hartmann’s latest S8-style wheel on new VW Jetta… Not bad!!
Written by Dion on September 24, 2008 – 2:29 pm -This Mk5 Jetta from Campbell Nelson VW was brought to us today. The new owner of the vehicle arranged to have his Hartmann Wheel purchase worked into the deal with his sales representative and the car was brought to us prior to vehicle pick-up.
The weapon of choice for this Mk5 is the Hartmann HS8-454 Wheel, a style commonly found on D3 S8s and B7 S4s. Opting for an 18″ wheel, all-season Falken 912 tires in 225/40-18 were mounted and balanced prior to installation.
The 47mm offset was selected in the 18×8 Hartmann HS8-454 Wheels which is a VW Mk5-friendly stance, allowing for plenty of brake clearance and staying well within the fender. Campbell Nelson is also sending the customer back to us later to have us install Neuspeed Sport Springs which will bring both front and rear arches about 1.5″ down from where it sits now.
Updated pictures with the new lowered stance to come soon!!
