Adam's Red Mk4 Ibiza

[Scott-o]

Reading up there on 8 inch wheels, i currently run 8 inch all round and rears are et25. Used to run 8.5 inch on the rear at et20 with 205 tyres when i had the porka wheels on the white one though, couldnt have anyone in the back though and over long journeys with lots of fuel youd get rubber deposits on the arch lol

Well currently i have no issues on 8s at the back 195 wheels and ET 25 thankfully, just thinking maybe just stick with these and get some nice stance going but think 40mm adaptors could cause problems, not too sure though and dont want to fork out the money for it to go wrong wish the D90s didnt have such a high offset!

 

[Scott-o]

Stance is hard as hell on 16's, nice and easy game on most 17's haha

 

[Whitechapel]

I could just get it dropped to the floor and camber adjusters made by a mate

down and out

Just read the thread and has been very interesting and learnt a few things too car looks great on the d90s! what sort of adaptors are u running and where can i get hold of some?

I have only just got my red sportrider last week so if your wheels are still for sale in a few weeks time i will definately be interested! just need to sort the 4x4 stance out before i do anything!

Hi mate, I am running 30mm adaptors all round, not sure on the make as didn't check when i put them on (bought them with the wheels). You can get hold of them on ebay, on ed38, or on wheel wh0res, best ones I've heard are FK, H+R and hubcentric i think but dont quote me on that ha

 

[cheeseman]

lol cheers mate. its difficult to find the rite set of wheels for the ibiza. i had a fiesta before and i literally could change wheels every couple months but im finding it reali difficult to get a good set for the ibiza. will just have to keep hunting!

 

[Whitechapel]

Yeah it can be a struggle, spent many nights searching for hours for decent sets of wheels haha, if you find a set give us a shout if your not sure i'l happily give my view ha

 

[cheeseman]

nice one! i have found a set of polished d90s but i think the cleaning regime would reali get on my tits lol! another idea was a set of porsche twists but not too sure!

 

[Whitechapel]

I would go for a nice set of 17s, car sits much better on them and its a lot less hassle to get rid of tractor stance ha

 

[cheeseman]

17 would be easier but i dont like the size of them in comparison to the car, just dont look right! i have ordered a few things for my car already and hopfully get my own thread started soon!

 

[Scott-o]

17's don't look right?! It's standard size of wheel for the sports models :|

 

[cheeseman]

ye i know but to me the ibiza suits a 16 alot better because of the size of the car in general. Its just a personal preferance. I have been looking through the forum and in all fairness there are alot of great ibizas with great stance on 17s so maybe i will change my mind

 

[rod the sod]

just a sneaky pic of the stance i am going for with my D90s. should have them on by saturday! decided that silver was the best colour in the end after about 4 different colour choices including lime green lol!

 

[Whitechapel]

Looks sweet mate, i'm really tempted to swap the rear adaptors for some 40's, all in good time!

 

[rod the sod]

i ended up getting a 35mm adapter and then a 5mm spacer in between the hub n adapter. was so much cheaper than the h and r 40mm adapters.

got my d90s on now! running it pretty low but still drivable.

 

[Whitechapel]

MORE LOWS! haha it looks real good! Maybe i will just get some 10mm spacers for the rear then give a nice stance, really thinking of keeping the D90s now and getting them refurbed, but dont want to refurb them then sell them as i need to look after every penny i earn!

 

[rod the sod]

i spoke to the boys at awsome gti (where i got my spacers) and they adviced me not to get anything bigger than a 5mm spacer between the adapter. not sure y though!

 

[Whitechapel]

Have you got longer bolts for the 5mm spacers? As IIRC you dont need to, may have something to do with the stress on the bolts but thats just a wild stab in the dark, maybe just invest in some 5mm then, how much did you get them for if you dont mind me asking

 

[Whitechapel]

Got back down to Kingston yesterday, plans to do helper springs/cat back system/full detail all being set into place very soon (i know i keep saying this but it is!)

Also went to Scarborough cruise/Fast Car cruise at the weekend while home, was actually suprised at the amount of Leons/Ibizas there, some really nice ones that i havent seen on here!

Im literally right at the beggining at around 8seconds in i think, even get to see my mug!
