Cupra kit fitted and Wheels

Hi evo, I'm considering getting some Cupra wheels like these for my new '05 Ibiza FR (if I can find any on ebay!). I've never fitted new wheels before, so can you tell me how easy it was to switch from the standard 16s to the Cupra 17s? Did you need any mods to make them fit? What effect did they have on how it drove?

Appreciate any help you or anyone else can offer.

they fit fine mate. Just undo bolts put wheel on put bolts back on. Might want to get locking nuts if you dont already have em

Cheers Guinness, do they effect the drive much?

shouldnt do mate as the FR has quite a bit of torque so should be to turn the wheels fine mate. Nothing major if it does change anything.
