Mk4 cupra wheels on mark5

[Janis]

Has anyone ever put cupra r mk4 17inch wheels on mk5 ibiza fr or any other mk5?
Any pictures?
Im braking my mk4 pd160 for parts and kept 4 pot brakes and wheels to go on my 2013 ibiza fr as they are black and think will look good on white.and them shiny red 4pots

Techie is back Boca style

Ha Ha, thought you might like them Adam, I knew you would understand. Not sure everyone will like them (not that im bothered about that) but they make more sense on car if you get me.

It depends on the rim. Pre-fl fr and cupras shared the same rim style. But when you ordered 4pot brakes on Cupra you would get a different style 17 inch rim just to clear the brake calipers.

I think it ages the car.
Fr wheels are nicer

I think I agree with @BigJase88.

Are the Mk4 wheels larger than standard? in my opinion the stance looks a little weird now.
Lowering needed asap!

Mk4 is 45 height and fr wheels are 40height.they actually fill arches a bit more.no lowering for me.woud love to but like my comfort.
Mk4 cupra was just nice.lowered from factory just enough.
