Does anyone run 16" 7.5J et35 alloys on their Ibiza? I'm wondering what size rubber fits this size rim and if 15mm spacers can still be run? I'm lowered around 30-40mm...
Cheers.

OK cool, thanks for the info Pete, do you get the rubbing on the inside of the wheel or out on the arch lip?

Sorry, should have made it clear, it rubs a very small amount on the arch lip but only on the drivers side. It only happens on very hard acceleration with just myself in, or every bump if passengers are in the back.

ET 24 should be fine. its the same as having a 11mm spacer on ;)

I also currently run 16" 7.5J with 215 40 tyres, but far too much tire for my liking.

personally i'd put 195 40 16 on them.

I also needed a 6mm spacer on the fronts to clear the coilovers. Rears I fitted 15mm ones iirc, but thats more for looks.

I'm now looking for a 7J front 8J rear set of rims, and be wrapping them in 165-40-16 and 195-40-16

should be quite a bit of stretch :)

if you want stretch refer to website: clicky
