ET10 will result in the steering axis inclination to scrub radius being seriously wrong. Not good especially if you lose pressure in one tyre.

I have ET18 on the rears... ET38 on the fronts.

Merc wheels with an Offset of 40 or more will fit as 20mm adaptors will poke them out about right...

agree with all the above, choosing wheels is proving rather hard at the moment :(

i'm quite picky.. i fancy some split rim style alloys, most likely 16"..but i can't find any that will fit.

Anyone know any alloys that will fit the ibiza that are in this style;

i'm mainly looking for them second hand, unless I can find a cheaper replica style make that i can get some newones from. I have a budget of around £500 for alloys themselves. I've been looking on ebay as getting second hand ones that are just silver is an option, as i know a guy who can refurb them and do the centre section in black. There just really don't seem to be many around that fit the ibiza's stud pattern...i don't know loads about what fits what mind so correct me if I'm wrong! I just don't know where bouts to find any like that style that fit mine really.

a non cupra should be fairly easy to find wheels to fit

you just need to know what to look for

17" is pretty much tops size wize
width, you can go as wide as 9/9.5" on the back, with the right offset etc!
