New 17" Oz Racing Wheels? Will they fit?

[CraigM40c]

Hi,
I have a 1997 Seat Ibitha Cupra R, 8V in immaculate condition. I am seriously tempted to fit some Oz racing wheels and was wondering if anyone has had experience of fitting 17" wheels on this car? The standard wheels are 15". The new wheels would be 205/40/17. My question is will they fit straight onto my car without any issues? ie scraping the rear wheel arches. Also, will the ride be badly effected? With the current 15" wheels the ride is not exactly comfortable! The alternative would be to fit 16" wheels at 195/45/16. Thanks in advance for any feed back.

mine fitted fine with the same tyres. youll have to have a look at the offset of the wheel tho.

use the search, theres loads of people asked this question

I have some Oz Super T from an Ibiza Cupra R for sale ... should appear in for sale section later when mods sort it.

they didn't make a mk2 ibiza cupra r did they by the way mate, its IBIZA, not IBITHA

I know they done a Cupra Sport that i think was limited edition. I thought the Ibiza 6K was the first SEAT to have the R badge!!!!

The MK2 is also a 6K, but the R was only released on the MK3.

Its probably a GTI or a Cupra Sport...same thing!

Hi

With the mk2 ibiza's they only had cupra sport and gti models. Never did a cupra R model in our shape.

I assume you meant cupra sport. I ahve 17'' oz turismo's on mine and they fit fine. No rubbing or arch work needed.

I have 17" OZ's and they catch on the inner wings on full lock.

what else do you want to know?

16"s catch on the inner arch lining

It did it when i had my g-max kit on, unsure of the drop that gave but im guessing 40mm-60mm
