Chances of getting 8" wide wheels on an ibiza

[Hamish N]

Realisticaly is this possible?

15"x8J

How much will they stick of from the arches? And how much will i be able to lower by? 80mm?

Also will i have problems with the sump scraping the ground?

Can a sump guard be put in place?

If it doesn't fit, make it fit

I'm soon to be running 16x9's on the back of my Mk2, and 7.5x16s on the front.

. It was a simple enough question was it not?

thats the plan but i want to know if ive got a chance in hell of achieving it before i set out.

my first post was just really my opinion, i reckon you will be very lucky to get them under the arches, im sure someone tried this once before. Also remember if they stick out too much they are illegal also.

 

[Hamish N]

i appriciate that . I know that they may not sit inside the arches, just wondered if it was humanly possible

15'' wheels will look tiny... do-able but i'd go 16'' or 17''!

Croakey had 17x8.5 on his ibiza

 

[Hamish N]

Any pictures of croakeys car please?

Would you say these are 15's?

 

[Ad Lav]

16'' BBS RA's or RS's on that one

I'll get you a pic...

 

[Ad Lav]

Keskin KT-3's with a slight stretch...

 

[Ad Lav]

What wheels are they anyhow??

 

[Hamish N]

16'' BBS RA's or RS's on that one

realli because they look small enought to be 15's. Or is it deceptive?

Im looking at getting these:

Compomotive CXN's. Pretty much identical to BBS RS's but have a more friendly offset

 

[Ad Lav]

Look smaller because of the deepdish... don't be fooled, these are 16'' for 5x100 fitment?

 

[Ad Lav]

No, you are right, 15'' but at £320 each!!

 

[Hamish N]

so the ones on the white/beige car are 15's?

I never said they werent cheap

 

[Aimez]

Sorry but the white car looks ridiculous, crockeys looks cool. Too bigger wheels won't handel properly anyway.

 

[Ad Lav]

No, white ones are 16'', he's from belguim, they are defo BBS and they could only get 16's over the brakes...

 

[Hamish N]

right ok. then. I didnt realise they would look THAT small on an ibiza . Compomotive do a 17" version, which i may have to look into.

 

[Ad Lav]

The dish takes an inch away!

17'' wheels will look better, I have 17'' wheels and am looking at some BBS ones, tad expensive though...
