Whats the biggest wheels i can put on a seat ibiza

[dragonsnake1985]

I would like to know what i can put ona seat ibiza 1999 model without lowering or highering my car or how much would i have to lower it to put bigger wheels on it

u've just posted saying you want performance..

You dont get optimum performance with 18s on a small hot hatch.

16s with a 50 drop is best imo

 

[dragonsnake1985]

yeah cheers mate i want my car to look good and at the mo it looks ordinary so i want to get the best look out of it with a good performance on it

 

[Brummy]

so you wanna chav it up a bit?

 

[Roelích]

I have 17's on mine with a 60mm drop, it looks good but I do kinda wish I'd gone for 16's.

My wheels being so light is the compromise.

 

[dragonsnake1985]

So 16's will be a better option thank you

 

[MarkJ]

I think 16's look best on a mk2, lowered 50/60mm looks the nuts.

 

[Mckellar]

nah you want 100mm drop like my sig


not very performance orientated though, beware, my car scrapes going over stones nevermind anything else

And i thought mine was bad with a 60mm drop on the front on 15's. I can get abit of rubbing if i go too fast over speed-bumps or hit a bad bump/uneven bit of road.

Still don't get how you managed to lower your car 100mm (and have an LCR splitter) When I lowered mine 60mm on the 16" multispokes it was rubbing front and rear and it looked like this:

If I lowered it another 40mm it would be literally sitting on the floor. Or your using a wonky ruler

p.s. dragonsnake, don't chav up the car, ibiza's look shite with 18" wheels and big bodykits (F2 kits aren't too bad). Save that cash and get the car handling well and do some trackdays, you'll love it

Well it sold within 18hours of being advertised on Autotrader to some guy from near Southampton. Funny you should ask tho because I was planning on sending him a text tomorrow to see how the car is doing (if its still alive) and get him to join up. Don't want to loose track of the car coz I want to buy it back once I have some more cash (in a years time or two) because the car was in MINT condition

Not surprised it went that quickly mate, one of the best I have seen, stunning car. Would have bought it myself if I had the cash.
Get the new owner on here, then we will know if he sells it

Pfft thats not 100mm

Stop being a wimp, ditch that piece of plastic and lower it properly

......and to answer your question, 18's I think but bigger is not always better in this case. 16's are a good choice but I always felt some wide 15's would look mega hard

 

[dragonsnake1985]

Cheers all thanks for that well i have decided not having a body kit now it looks good as it is.
I will start with the supension and track and work from there

I would love to go to some track days

Good lad

Suspension and some nice 16" wheels with decent tyres is a definite way to start.

As for trackdays, there is a forum section on here for them and a LOT of trackday junkies as well so have a look around and see if there isn't one going in your area soon

this is how low it is just now, miby not 100mm but its definately more than 60!!

 

[wilz]

That is pretty low David, Found my new wheels be kept a secret till there on i can post up pics, going to order them by the end of the month, got to see what pay appraisal says first. Then the coilovers from club polo well see how long i can go

 

[Mckellar]

is it porker rims mate?

 

[Czechboy]

That to me looks like -62.3mm Plus you parked it facing a slightly raised ramp so it makes it look lower,lol.

Just kidding, looks phat.

You should get some centre caps for your alloys. £12 each I think, so not a bargain but won't break the bank eiter
