They look mint man! When I had my 15s on they were fine, that was with 195/50 tyres mind.

I'm running 20mm FK spacers on all corners, only doing this as I picked a set up for £90 If I can find a set i'd love a pair of 35/40mm on back!

I'd be tempted to have a look at some different tyres if you struggling with these size! 185 maybe?

Can't wait to see them all on!!

What are you wheel widths? 165 is narrow dude! I'd guess your on 7s up front with 8s at back, like mine!

7 all round mate thats why i need bigger spacers on the rear . 165 do go on but are stupidly low , 195s 45 are too expensive and 195 50 look too high :confused:

Get some 185/45 that should be ok. Expense wise i find size doesn't matter that much, 40 quid a corner for some cheap ones should be easy enough to find! Could go second hand?

Very nice, I wouldn't be comfortable with less than 1mm to be honest but I have no engineering experiance to back that up so dont listen to me.

If you put new brake pads in will that not move the caliper further out, Is that how it works.
Eitherway their some of my favourite wheels and I wish you all the best.

it is a bit to close for comfort but they go on and turn with no scrubbing . still not sure if they will looklost or not

could have went with 165/50/15's Bridgestone Potenza's

thats what I was running on my euro saxo with 7.5j wide wheels

yeah was looking into them its going to be very low once the 175 are on and didnt want to make it completly impractical by going 165 , plus the arches on the ibiza are quite big so thought the 175s might fill them better
