Alloys question.

[armweak5]

I recently bought some alloys but wasn't 100% sure they would fit.

Does anyone know if all 5x100 alloys would fit the 08 onwards ibiza?

I got the 1.2 S A/c 09 plate.

cheers guys

5X100 is the right PCD, but you also have to consider the offset.

Generally any VAG 5X100 alloys fit, so mk1 Leon, mk4 Golf, mk4 Ibiza, Fabia, mk1 Octavia, Polo etc all fit.

Lovely, the offset i should be looking for is 43 right? Does it have to be a 43? thank you

No doesn't have to be 43, you can use spacers to bring the wheels out a bit if they sit in too close.
But also have to factor in the width of the wheel too, and if they sit out too wide then there's not much you can to.

This link will help show you what will fit and what wont.

Hi, I have an alloy question also. I have 16's currently and im upgrading to 17's, can I do a straight swap? or do I have to have spacers. Also will it affect my brakes I have currently? Any help would be great.

 

[markmeus]

Provided the wheel has the correct stud pattern, offset and width then there would be no need for spacers.
For example if your 17's are off another Ibiza then you don't need to worry about anything, it's just a straight swap.

they are the anthracite seat accessories alloy. im pretty sure there the same as the standard sport alloys on ibiza sport and sportrider model.

 

[markmeus]

In that case you don't need to worry about a think - they'll be a straight swap

 

[Maxt890]

Sweet very excited, im unsure if i should get them, they look stunning but ive never seen a set on a Red Ibiza yet so desperate to see them on one.... have you seen any?

 

[markmeus]

Can't say I've seen the sport alloys in anthracite on a red car.
But Anthracite on red looks great, the early FRs had anthracite alloys and they looked amazing.

I have shadow chrome which is just a more silvery version of anthracite of my red Ibiza and I think they look great

 

[Maxt890]

Omg they look dead smart. I see what you mean they are almost anthracite but shine and reflect really nice. Car looks really nice mate.

Well if you look at this thread malossi has the alloys im after.

 

[markmeus]

Cool - Malossi's car is amazing.
I'm hoping to get my sideskirts painted next week and hopefully get bottom bit of the rear bumper done too.

 

[Maxt890]

Keep it up! its looks great. Hopefully ill order the alloys tomorrow....cost a bit though :/
