What size adaptors do I need.

Right I have bought some new wheels and just wondering if someone could help me with what size adaptors to go for.
The wheel specs are staggerd 7.5x16 et36 with 195/40/16 and 8x16 et30 on a 195/45/16

I'm lowered on coilovers also but not stupidly low, this is how the car currently sits with 195/45/16 on what I guess is a standard offset and there is easy room for an extra 20mm

The wheels where fitted to a caddy van before hand on 20mm so I'm thinking this would be suitable for mine also.

What is the standard offset for the mk4 Ibiza also.

Firstly I would change the rear tyres to 195/40 otherwise you are going to scrub with 16x8 et15 (with minimum 15mm adaptors)
As it looks like your car is sitting just above the tyre?
You may need to trim the inner arches a touch to stop scrubbing but there's no way of knowing until you do it :)

Really like the colour of your car!!! Looks good with those wheels on too. Not too low :)

Cheers bud. Ive got them on with 20mm adaptors and judt touches with people in the back so some 195/40's will be added and will be fine then. Cheers for the advice.
