To get anything near a small arch gap the chassis and subframe will have to be touching the floor!!!!! I think a Scottish lad had some on a black Mk4 at Edition38 last year, in a dark red, not 100% sure if they were teledials though

the coilovers i have are dropped right down on the fron and adjusters out on the back . just have to see what they look like if i dont give it a go i will never no

Most 15" wheels on an Ibiza need 195/55 tyres...

Well my factory fitted ones do.

Surely with any lower profile it will throw out your speedo & effect your top speed?

Adapters and spacers?
Thats a sure fire way to have a wheel off methinks.

Erm why? If you go no Edition38 or wheelwh0res theres loads of people that will be doing this with no problems!

slight prob took the wheel of just to get a idea of how much clearance i have and its touching the brakes . 15mm is going to be a very close fit on the front

The guy at ED38 was rolling on D90's which are 16".

Check the follwoing link out to get the wheels sitting how you want. Used the link several times and its been spot on every time.
