[Forbez]

[Forbez]

Its all a fib, R1cky had Keskins!

 

[kieran_cupra]

hmmmmmmm

 

[Barry.L]

i was also thinking about it, heres a quick photoshop of what i had in mind

 

[kieran_cupra]

Mite go for it and buy some this afternoon , Its got to be done . 7.5 x 16 and 9 x 16 that sound right?

[Barry.L]

i was bidding on a set with polished dish and anthracite centres... reckon they would look mint. sellin car now so not gonna bother

 

[kieran_cupra]

definatly going to order some this week and get them painted, Just wondered what offset i should get ?

[mark_20vt]

love the wheels.... just not with yellow centres! just my opinion tho...

 

[dj_bigfella]

those were the 1st set of rims i was going to opt for. but i realised you'd have to go crazy low to minimise the gap between arch and tyre which = damaged sumps, damaging body panels and generally a pain in the arse! if you're not going to slam it, and opt for comfortness, that's always the other option. i know what it's like to run 16's on an 80mm drop on my old polo. wasn't that bad in comparison to the ibiza because the arches aren't as big.

 

[kieran_cupra]

Thnaks for the advice , decied to get some 17 inch keskins now, ( not the same as you dj ) lol

whats the widest i can go front and back without problems?

Kieran

 

[beezaturbo]

personally i think 16's look a lot better then 17's on the ibiza if you lower it enough on 16's it looks right, the proobelm with 17's isn't the arch gap but the car body to floor gap, a lowered car shuld look lowered not be on stilts but with no gap between tyres and body.

ive got 8x16's and 9x16's on my ibiza decent ride nothing catchs,still sits really low aswell. Also wen i had my D90's had coilovers and bottom of thread and still nothing serious caught.

 

[beezaturbo]

i'm with beattie on this one, looking sweet as ever mate. wish i'd gone for 9's on the back of mine now.

 

[CupraPower]

Im running 7.5 front and 9s on the back. Be careful with offset on the fronts as they will rub against the caliper.
