Depends on the caliper clearance of the wheel mate.

depends on spoke design
I used to run 7x16 Speedline 5 spokes which cleared with 0.75mm clearance. ET35, 7x16 rims

its all in the spoke design.
Some compo MO's with curved spoke design clear fine also in 7x16 ET35
 
theyve got a very curved spoke design so i might just risk it.
bill will i have any more difference in clearance if its a brake kit purchased from you? got reciept for it if you need reference to which kit

The Brembo kit from Bill requires 38mm caliper clearance. What wheels you looking at getting? Cant you get them measured to double check they fit first?

as said 38mm is the caliper clearance on my kit which is same offset as ibiza cupra-r requirement.

15mm should be enough on the rear yes.

front with 8 maybe.

You can easily pull off 20mm on the rear as well I would imagine.

but its really guessing without physically putting the wheels under the car. I'm affraid I don;t know exactly what fits and what doesn't.

has anyone had any experience fitting this "ET" on there wheels before? i know reuvers thought i needed spacers but dioes anyone know for definate? thanks :)
 
You'll definately want spacers at the back and as reuvers said 15mm or 20mm wouldnt be a problem.

Isn't your car off the road at the minute? Could you not trial fit the wheels and then see how much space you have etc etc before buying the spacers.
