euro rims 15' or 16' and lowering springs and shocks

[tooly1]

euro wheels for my mk4 ibiza looking to spend up to 250 ish second hand if poss i dont really know where to look

and springs and shocks lowered to either 40 or 45 mm need abit of advice as i still want a level stance if you know what i mean! prices etc would consider decent second hand !

seen these is this the same stud pattern anyone ??

would consider anything half decent

Pepperpots are 5x100 usually, and they're 15"s, so will look quite lost in the arches, even if the car is lowered. I wouldnt go any lower than 16" tbh.

ok cheers is 5x100 the pattern what my beeza is and 16+ is the way forward then ok

cheers wilber

Yeah mate 5x100 is the stud pattern. Size of wheel is entirely up to you, but in my personal opinion, 15s looks too small.

Depends on your budget really... you could go for Schmidt, Keskin, Porsche, Mercedes, BBS rims or even any from the VAG group. You may need spacers and/or adpaters to get some to fit the 5x100 PCD of the Ibiza!

Look on Edition38 forum and Wheel-*****s for loads of ideas!

Have a look at my photos from the DC09 show last year for some more ideas: http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/gooner_mike/DC09/

To get a level stance on an Ibiza you really need coilovers. Spring and shock combos or just lowering springs give the nose down stance as the rear of an Ibiza weighs nothing!

cheers for that people ill start looking now i know brands and stud patterns etc trying to find out what quinn say for declaring the mods !

 

[luke c]

euro is usually down and out you would need coilovers to pull it of

 

[tooly1]

i know but collies are a harsher ride i would if i had more money there expensive aint they?

 

[Wilber]

Not really, you can get a set for around £160, though there are mixed reviews on them.

 

[tooly1]
