just a quick question ( i did a search but didnt find anything )

a friend of mine has an Arosa.. ( arosa s i think?? )

anyway.. she was thinking of buying my 02 leon cupra 16" alloys from me when i get the facelift wheels. my question is, will they fit the arosa? i think they look like they are too big.. but i dont know?!

thanks all! :)

16's tend to rub you need 15 by 6.5 or 15 by 7 with 4x100 ideally with 195 45 15 tyres. Some people have managed to get 16's on but, it depends on how much its lowered by and how much work you fancy doing.

On a standard height car, 16s with quite low profile tyres will fit...

Claire Bear has 16" Ibiza wheels on her Arosa. As far as I know she had no problems. They are pretty big wheels though, so remember it will affect the drive of the car

Thats an easy question, and a hard question at the same time.

Depending on how much you have to spend, I'd say the best things to do are make it really clean, lower it a bit, then alloys. Keep it subtle ;)

even 195/45's can rub , to the point in on 175's on a 7.5 wheel to stretch the rubber and i still rub
