Ive got 17's but i was told i could get 18's and that tyres would be cheaper for 18's because they are now more common...
there arnt may people on here with 18's on their mk4 as they look odd with most wheel styles
dont get me wrong there will be some that look awesome but im yet to find any

found them
i think 18s are a little to large 17 is about the max thats my opinion each to there depends what you like really heres another example of 18s on an ibiza. http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=234225
i don't know who told you this but i doubt it is true...even if they were more common companies wouldn't drop the prices to below that of an inferior size of the same model
personally i wouldn't move to 18s as the ride would be harsher than already is, mpg will be affected along with speedometer also...and tyres will rub under full lock

18"
Hi I have 18" wheels on my Ibiza FR. The pictures are on my thread. There was still even room for lowering the car with H&R springs. Actually I'm really happy about them, they make the car so much better to drive on curves!

not sure about the 18's...they look odd, however, they do fill the wheel arches lol i don't know how your tyres don't rub going over bumps or even turning into a bend mate as clearance is hardly existent, and you must get loads of road noise from the lower profile tyres

Is 205/40/17 low profile?
If so I'm running low profiles and sounds exactly the same.
yer...i just got my T1R 215/40 17's for £87 per tyre all in!
215/40 17 is still low profile, however, because 40% of 215 is obviously more than 205 the ride is no longer crashy goin over humps, road noise is practically non-existent and smoother
i wouldn't have thought such a small difference would have a big impact...but i have lived the change
I got mine from national tyres and exhausts, was the cheapest place for me, and if I remember right kwik fit wanted £170 for contenentals

have source same tyres for 67 per corner but this is not fitted tho
yer, i could have bought em off camskill but, as you said, wouldn't include fitting and balancing
as said above, 205/40 17 is the standard size
yes and the 205's (standard tyres) are crashy...i would recommend moving to 215/40 17's as i mentioned a few posts back
