with the lumps n bumps round these parts i dare say you will mate but give it a go,may be ok.

15's as in wheels or 15's as in rear spacers?

Will 15" wheels fit over the brakes??

 

[beezaturbo]

15's will look too small for the euro look on the ibiza , they might work on mk2 golfs and polos but the ibizas front arches will eat them my 16's sometimes look too small, and then theres the lowering mines on coilovers about 55mm and thats the most i takemit down as the bumper and sump will catch, but the gap between the arch and the tyre is still too much.

 

[David_smith_909]

15's should fit over the brakes no problem, standard brakes are tiny

 

[dj_bigfella]

dude im saying from experience, you cant drive around on 15's and not have it slammed cos it would look odd. the arches on the mk3 ibiza's are too big, and the 15's wouldn't have such an effective look. as mentioned before, it works on mk2's, polo's and what not, but i'm not sure it would work to well on an ibiza. i'm not even sure if the last coil on a coilover kit would cover the wheel, yet the bodywork would be scraping the floor! your best bet is to go for 16's mate.

yea... most will I think.

got 15's on the spare ibiza cupra on my drive.

 

[ibizacupra]

i think ibiza arches are too small... especially the rears.

try getting 17" with decent width in there...

 

[B19_TSH]

16's it is then. was offered some phase 1 ronal turbo's, awesome too.

ive got 16's decked on bottom of coilovers at front and not far off at bk n i dont get any problems.

 

[beezaturbo]

mines only about half way down at the front and about 3" from the bottom at the back and the front bumper onl just clears speed humps

 

[beattie17]

I make most speed bumps,but normally go in middle of the 2 hump 1's.

 

[beezaturbo]

samehere but the cat skid plate still catches.

i was considering the h&r cup kit would i be ok with 17 inch 205/40's 15mm rear spacers and the h&r kit, just wandering about drivability and rubbing as ive got a few speedbumps around my way cheers

How much is yours lowered by?

 

[brad_cupra05]

who me ? lol mine isnt lowered yet but considering the h &R ive got 17's on there at the mo and want to get some spacers just wandering if i would have any problems with it rubbiing or not getting over speed bumps if i bought the kit?

No i mean 'beattie17' but thank you

There is a couple of peeps on here with 17" rims and the H & R Cup Kit that find it fine, speak to CupraPower as he has got that

I think you will be fine, i am getting the kit this week and have 16" rims and an LCR Splitter and to be honest i think i may have more problems with that than you would as its quite a low kit

 

[brad_cupra05]

yea i cant decided wether to get the h & r or spend a bit more on some coilovers ?

 

[CupraPower]

H&R + 17"s will be fine.
No rubbing at all. Best to get correct offset and you'll be fine. You wont be able to rub hubcentric spacers though at the back. Heard some people have cheapy 10mm ones from halfords. Though choice is yours if you want these!
