9 x 16" rims, et15 all round? whats the chance of fitting?

[ConradJellyfish]

As The title says, might have some rims en route for my ibiza, but will they fit without serious arch work, or have i gone with my heart and not my head

cheers guys

Rear's will fit, dependent on tyre sizes. Front's might not clear the coilies! I had this problem on my mk2 Ibiza. Et25/et15 would hit the front coilies! The mk3 might be different as I know of one running 8.5's which are et13.

Trial fit is your best bet!

Wouldn't it be the other way wrong they won't hit the collies but stick out to far?

The issue I had were that the et25 would not even match up to the hub due to hitting the coilies! The et15 did hit the hub, but were sitting right on the coilies!

They stick out yes, but also look awesome on the rears!

Arches need flaring to get them sitting right ;-)

wounded i losg out on them by few quid but theres another couple of rims of the same wheels going that are 16 x 7.5 with an offset of 45, so would buy them and stick them on the front

Be careful, et45 might not clear the calipers
