mk2 ibizas on 18s?

[Chrisdaman]

any pics going around of ibizas on 18s?

i'm potentially getting some to get over this sump clearance issue, and it's all about "tucking big wheels" now

Cheers
Chris

surculations website had a few im sure homie

 

[Chrisdaman]

this thread is now completely irrelevant now anyway , the wheels i was going to swap for were 5x100

found some AWESOME 17s though, watch this space

you were gonna raise the sump by fitting 18" rims ?

raise the suspension up a bit or even plate up the engine mounts and raise the engine slightly

well it's about general clearance really,

i think 18"s would be too big to be honest, 17"s would be more my cup of tea

 

[Fl@pper]

do the sums first if i was you as 18's nay even 17's are gonna be close when down that low

just raise the car!!! Personally I think the Ibiza is one of them cars that big wheels don't look right on!

And after all this work supercharging it why loose performance from having large wheels, get some split rims in 16's

listen to that welsh man... i personally would fabricate a skid plate

Postman Pat there has got a good idea.... noticed thats what a lot of the slammed passat boys are doing on the forum

 

[Fl@pper]

low's for the shows anyway

Im upset with you chris, thinking of 18's.

 

[Brummy]

Think someones already looked into the feasability of a Cupra *Country*


Chris, you need to give yourself a slap!

I agree with that tbh. Anything bigger than 16's IMO dont suit the car. Hence why Ive went for a set of 16" Oz's, hopefully fitting will commence tomorrow, weather permitting.

I dont think 18s would fit without mods to the arches even with the car not lowered,
and I think everyones right about the 18s, saw one on eBay earlier, doesn't look right...
Get some spinners , you'll probably be the first mk2 owner with them fitted

And probably the last

don't get 18's chris, your wheels are mint, so is the car, just raise it abit, or like people said sort out a guard etc?

I think 18" wheels will be an amazing idea, will make your glasses look normal sized

Have a coconut and fit them
Love
