Wheels

17s will be fine, you can get 18" wheels on your Ibiza if u really want (i did)

I would go for 5-10 spoke wheels...

But thats just me, all up to you tho really!

Mike

Depends what style you like, have a look on some sites see which ones u think would look good, then photoshop them onto ya car to get a idea!

If ur going be spending ya hard earned ££££ u got to make sure they are the right ones for the job!

17"s look pretty perfect on a Lowered Ibiza and the speedo will only get MORE accurate (as it over reads by 7% anyway!). Remember though that an increase in rolling radius means your brakes need to do more work in less revolutions - so cut a story short, id be weary if you rag the pants off it!

I had some 16" FR wheels on my 1.2 which didnt seem to decrease performance much but the thing went round corners damn quick - felt much better than my lowered TDi with a strut brace!

I also see that you want your car lowering so heres a piccy of mine thats been dropped 50mm on some 17"s


Same time, but this time with a flash and less exposure and more bling!

ED....where did you get your H&R kit?? Are the dampers adjustable?

Here's mine before it was lowered on 17's. It's not a very nice sight as you can see.



And here's it on different 17's after being lowered.



Okay, it doesn't help that my driveway's on a bit of a slope, but you get the idea.

It's the Seatsport kit, so I'm guessing it's around 25mm. Ideally it needs to be a bit lower at the back, but it's nothing a boot full of crap won't fix.

Ya, looks about right on the front (well right as in u can still go over a normal road without killing yaself!) but think ur right, the back is so high needs as little more! Like a boot full of crap! or subs

Hmm....

No point in putting subs in the back tbh, I'll be getting my new car in a month. I'll see if I can find the pics of my car when I stuck about 300kg's worth of stuff in the back and then you'll see how low it can be.

hehe, about as low as eds with mike in the back Id reckon

What car are you getting anyway?

Hi, like mark said, they were fitted before i bought the car so am not 100% sure but after a wee bit of research im 90% certain they arent adjustable...

They break your back tho - very/too stiff... can see myself getting rid soonish unless my mileage goes down!

Well here's the ultra heavy car...

Front View and back view.

I think I had the lowered suspension on then, but I can't remember for definate. I know it handled like a pig though and wasn't too quick. Still, there was no rubbing even with it that low.

Gold bars.

I expect he did the right thing and forced his grandmother into the boot space for the photo shoot.
I did actually like the last visual that you supplied, did you mention which car you are going to pick up, in the near future?

Bit hard to do seeing as she's tiny and on the other side of the world.

And who's the question aimed at?
