[Cotton]

hello all

I wouldn't touch the fronts at all.
Adding front spacers means you will probably change the steering geometry.
This could mean increased tyre wear, vibration and/or handling issues but I stand to be corrected on this.

I put 20mm hubcentrics on the back of mine so that the wheels and tyres are flush with the body work.
They look better and the back end just feels less skittish.

The spacers I bought bolt to the hubs and then the wheels bolt to the spacers so no need to buy extra long bolts.

Works for me!

front spacers can be bad news dont boter but for the rears ive got 20mm hubcentric spacers with the safer longer bolts cheapish and handles so much better but if the car is owered allso makes the car look wider and the wheels look less lost in the arches!!

the car has been lowerd 40 mm too, but i am thinking of lowering it another 20mm, so you all say 20mm hubcentrics then, i was thinking bout geting fks,

next question thn is where abouts to get the hubcentric ones from, and how much have you all lowerd your car by

 

[rashcupra]

ive got coilovers on mine and have lowered the front by about 70mm and the rear about 80mm

i got my hubcentric spacers from here VVV

they also sell the longer wheel bolts you need for £1.50 each and the choice of longer locking 1's but bit more pricey! i just went for the non locking as the bolts have caps anyway

makes a big diffrence this mod i was so happy with the transformation i was SHOCKED

I have the FK 20mm ones, no longer bolts, separate sapcer bolts to hub then wheel bolts to spacer, about £60

 

[joonspoon]

Have a look at these.

Dunno.
I just posted the link as an example of the type of spacers I fitted.

that link that has been given above for the hubcentric ones, it does not mention the ibiza, will these fit it or not?

 

[dcmini]

i was think about deep dish alloys i've not seen them on a ibiza or if it possiable
to do would this effect handling

 

[Kyle Townend]

I've just bought some 15mm spacers from that seller. Thanks for the link

As far as I know 5x100 is a "bog standard" size over the whole VAG range.
So if they fit this lot they will fit an Ibiza.

Audi - A2, A3, TT
Seat - Leon, Toledo
VW - Golf 4, Bora, All VR6, Vento, New Beetle, Golf 3 (165)
(From Ad Lav) VW Polo

I stand to be corrected on this.

Regards Guy.

 

[Ad Lav]

Yup, that's spot on mate, Polo too
