Alloy Wheel question

[Guinness]

Thinking of getting some 16x7 alloy wheels whats the best tyre size to get for these?

 

[Ad Lav]

205/45/16 probably mate, the standard sport/pre facelift fr had 205/45/16 so it'll look the same as those!

Or go for 205/40/16, 195/45/16 if you wnat them stretched?

 

[reedbradshaw]

the ones that fit, thats the ones that arent to big, but not to small you want somewhere inbetween the middle of those.

i got 16s on my sport ill have a look on mine if thats what your after. why not get some spinners ? then you can pretend to a black gangsta in america

 

[cheb]

hasent sparky got 215's on his standard FR 16's. gives a bit more width.

 

[reedbradshaw]

why not sell the 1.2 n get a 1.4 all the money your gonna spend on **** like that by end on it you will have no come back on the money you have spent and in a year you will prob think the 1.2 is to slow for ya which one of my mates has done now after spending 100s on his 1200

 

[tommmineh]

There's barely any difference between the 1.2 / 1.4
Both slow as sh*t

And most/all of the stuff he spends money on will be removable to put on another ibiza/sell.

 

[Ad Lav]

Agreed, or sell it to people on here!
It doesn't matter what engine you've got really mate, as long as you are happy with it!

It's all age/money dependent anyway, no insurance company would cover me on my tdi sport until I was 20, that's why I bought a Ford Ka!

 

[reedbradshaw]

allrate tommi put hand bags away pal not tryin to start a catfight or ought. the trim is much nicer on the sport than the normal 1.2s anyways.

 

[tommmineh]

you commented about the 1.2 being too slow, just dont think there'd be alot of point in selling a 1.2 for a 1.4

 

[reedbradshaw]

what would you rather have 1.2 or 1.4 ?

 

[Ad Lav]

Neither, 1.9tdi or 1.8t but not everyone can afford one or are old enough to insure one.

 

[reedbradshaw]

booooooooo spoil sport

 

[tommmineh]

what would you rather have 1.2 or 1.4 ?

1.4

But I wouldnt sell my 1.2 for one

 

[Guinness]

being a young driver 1.2 rocks for now my insurance is the saving lol, and well I can always sell it so some chavs at college being they all drive corsas and would kill for a ibiza (fools they r)

 

[Fordy_FR]

Guinness, totally off topic here but are you at Newcastle College?

 

[Guinness]

nah was for like a week, go 2 blyth now as its closer, live blyth not newcastle u see, blyth being like 15min drive away

 

[Fordy_FR]

Ah right, just wondering if that tool with the bright yellow Mk2 punto still went to Newcastle...

 

[RichieRich]

1.4 Tdi while your young.. and then re-map it to 100 bhp or somethink when u want more power i might do this next year save the fuel bills too! do the 1.4Tdi's have climate control?

 

[Leigh15]

Not sure, can't remember which model has the 1.4 TDI - is it the stylance or the reference?

If stylance - yes
If reference - no
