Wheel offset advice!

[kyle18uk]

I'm currently running 16x9 et25 on the front

been looking at new wheels and found some 8x15 et12

which would poke more? Confused!

Thanks, Kyle

im thinking the lower offset ones well poke out more regardless of the width of the 9's...cant say for deffo tho buddy

From my calculations the poke on the 15" should be very slightly more poke than the 9J.
Have to be running damn low to pull those bad boys off.
What tyres are u running on the 16's, much stretch??

The tyres are 215/35/16s there's a fair amount of stretch on them, there's pics in the for sale section, look very nice on an ibiza!

Ha i want a full side car view
You could stretch a 185/45 or 40 without too much grief on an 8J ( got some for my 8J's)
From your pics you will need to be a fair bit lower to pull of the 15's

I'll get a pic up tonight to show you the stretch!

Think I'm gonna stick with 16s now, just for brake clearance and ride height!

 

[kyle18uk]

Stretch!!
