Wheel width?

[croakey]

Ladies and gentleman...

any ideas as to how wide i can go on the back of the 'biza?? have seen some running 8's heard rumours of someone running 8.5's... but could i run a 9'??

now before some smart ass says the usual..anything will fit if you pay enough..i know this, just wondered how far a standard (rolled) arch would take

cheers

I've seen loads of Mk4's with 9's on the back in Europe. My favourite is this one...

ooooh anymore pics knocking around of others running 9's on the back

love the stance it gives it when theyre just so on the arch line

tommmineh, is that your ride by any chance!? Looks mental !
Haven't seen (m)any other Mk4 Ibiza with deep dish Alloys on like that! Really looks mint.

croakey, the other option is to add Spacers, to set your current wheels out a fraction? Although, possibly not as cool as nice wide alloys filling the Arches...

Yeah it is............................. I wish

If he gets spacers then he won't be able to flaunt the fact he's got wideboys on the back

 

[croakey]

ooh maybe gunna slap me some 8' rims on it all round, and space the back out

 

[tommmineh]

Mine are 8s all round, ET35, Fronts are about perfect but the backs would look the dogs with a 20mm spacers!

 

[croakey]

they are 17x8 et30 merc rims...

they will look sweet trust me...shame they've come up now when i'm broke

 

[croakey]

they aint standard merc rims mate...something a bit special

sad thing is i aint got spare money at the moment... might ask the old man or speak to the bank...just wanna get em bought while they're about as they are quite rare

 

[tommmineh]

Wash your mouth out with soapy water - tut-tut, and there's you earlier saying how wideboys on the back are the only way!

So what size Alloys are you playing with (16/17/18"?), if you talk about getting Spacers?

Haha, I didn't say they were the only way to go!, I said Croakey wants to be able to blag that he's got em. I've got 17s

they are 17x8 et30 merc rims...

they will look sweet trust me...shame they've come up now when i'm broke

Damn i've been tempted by some merc rims on the bay that are close to me

Are the ones you looking at the 5spoke/full face style ?

 

[croakey]

nope..these are rarer than rare the ones i've seen... not the classic amg look.

trying my hardest to sort some money out..gunna have to beg borrow or steal!

anyone have a suggestion?
