Will these fit?

[Zlash_eX]

The Ibiza needs new shoes after winter. Will these fit / could someone provide me with the fitments? I know it's 5x100 for the Ibiza, what else do I need to know?

EDIT: Would 5x100, et40, 7.5" width fit?

Yes, I'd run 15mm spacers on the rear of them too probably to get the ET down to 23

Yea they'll fit. Bit of a plain looking wheel IMO but look OK if your on a tight budget.

On the Ibiza 8" wide wheels are the widest I'd go on the front arches, and probably 9" wide on the rear. And then the size I'd go for 16's or 17's because 18's look too big and 15's or smaller look too small. Also depends how low you are. All my opinion of course!

ET (offset) is the distance between the centre of the wheel and the hub mounting surface. So the lower the ET number, the more the wheels will sit flush/poke out of the arches, and the higher the ET number the more the wheels will tuck inside the arches. But it also depends on the width of the wheel.
And when you add spacers that reduces the ET (eg 20mm spacer combined with a ET 35 wheel will make the ET 15).
I'd say ET20 to 40 is alright since standard FR/Cupra wheels are somewhere around 35. Maybe even lower ET, just depends whether you want the wheels to be flush with the arches or poke out a bit or tuck in under the arch.

That's my understanding of it all, but I could be wrong with some of that so maybe someone else with more knowledge than me could correct me if I'm wrong.

seem a bit overpriced,got my starfish alloys off ebay for that much and that included decent tyres.

Ah right that makes sense, thanks for the insight as to how it all works! Currently running 14"s on standard ride height and am in need of new tyres so dad mentioned that I might aswell buy some new alloys then get tyres for some better wheels. I agree they are a bit plain but being 17"s they'd fill the arches, plus I have coilovers waiting to go on so with a drop it'll sit nicely. Might refurb the alloys in black eventually aswell if I get these ones.

I was thinking of spacers anyway for a nicer stance!

Yeah, not a lot on ebay right now that I can find anyway




I do have my eyes on a few more sets of alloy wheels. Found some rather nice 18"s with VW centre caps but I don't know if they're actually VW alloys. Says they will fit SEAT/Skoda/Audi/VW etc and messaged the guy as to whether they'd fit my specific Ibiza and he said they would. They'll rack up in price though, which is sad
