The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
My father is a bit of a handy man!
Purchased a 60mm Hole saw kit (£18), and took his time boring out the holes, they fit on the center hub perfectly, so happy I went this route, I was quoted £40 an hour for a wheel

Can 195/65/15 fit a 58 Ecomotive ?
I'm not bothered about appearance or odometer, just worried about the tyres touching the body of the car.
Can anyone tell me if they'll fit alright, please ?
thank you

Update with 19565R15
Hello people,
Today replaced the old/original wheels with the Audi A3 19565R15.
Yes they are bigger, but... they do not rub on the plastic covers, even if full lock I have 1 finger clearance (1cm).
Car is a bit higher so better for pot holes and bumps
However I would like your suggestions about the following points:
1) the centre bore is the same diameter but it does not stick out as the old/original rims, all the way through the old ones, but only about 1cm or less on the new ones (see pictures) But the ET is the same as Ibiza.
Does this mean the new wheels are not well secured ?
2) the acceleration has gone, does it mean they are too heavy for the car ?
But many ibizas have 17" on them and no problem.
Will braking also be affected ?
3) will the bearings suffer and die prematurely ?
4) less fuel efficiency with big wheels ? Same time the acceleration peaks are gone, so no extra fuel injected for that ?
Thank you

5) By Law: Can I have different tyres brand/model on same axle ? They are same size and Loading/speed characteristics, just different make/model and pattern.

Because of the extra size and weight of the wheel my little Ibiza now is having a harder work to turn them.
the steel wheels weight 12Kg.
the Audi alloys weight 16.5Kg.
what nice 15" alloys with tyres would be 12Kg or less (let's stay at reasonable prices, please )
look how it's now, looks good, but a bit heavy for my Bibi
