I'm looking to buy a set of lenso bsx rims for my Cupra , before you all start slating them for not being genuine I know there cheap etc but I haven't got 1500 spare in the pocket ! So I was just wondering if you lot had any photos of these on a Cupra in 17s ? Because I live near a lot of speed bumps and 16s with my car lowered I think will scrape too much but I could be wrong ?
So if anyone knows of there's much difference in height from floor to bumper with 16s compared to 17s please let me know ! I want the tyre to be under the arch too not sticking out So I would be getting 8.5 on the back so they can go under my arches better
Many thanks

If you select your tyre size correctly the overall diameter of the wheels will be the same (or near as makes no difference) There should be no difference in the height from floor to bumper. The only difference between the 16" wheel and the 17" will be the harshness of the ride.

But you have to lower the car more I would say on 16s so the top edge of the rim is level with the rear arch ? I don't like to see the whole tyre above the rim you see
I can't find any pics of 17 inch bbs style on a ibiza cupra mk3 on any website !
Perhaps I should be the first !
