wheels and spacers

[ibiza sport]

im thinking of putting a new set of wheels on my mk 4 sport , thinking of putting 17s on but would like spacers on the back wheels, any idea how thick they would need to be and also where i could get a good set from ? thanks

Im looking for the same thing.

It depends on the Width of the wheel and the offset your using.

FK do good quality ones but if your not sure, ask someone who knows because its easy to get ones that dont fit.

ok thanks for that m8, im pretty sure its 20mm spacers i need, now just to find the right ones .

20mm will reach the edge of the arch (generally)...i'm personally going to get 15mm for the rears on std FR 17s

if you do a search you'll find different members' rides with pics of both

20mm fitted fine on my FR, no rubbing against the arch...

Again if you are fitting new alloys you might want to check offsets and alloy widths!

 

[hon_n_gem]

With then without!

 

[NickyJam]

i didn't mean they'd rub...just talking about how far out they'll look

 

[Radge-Aha]

When you make a decision let me know what you choose and how it looks

All depends on the width and ET of the wheels really but 20mm is popular on the Ibiza 6L's.

thanks for all the replies once ive got the wheels and spacers on ill get some pics up. gota save up a bit of money first.

 

[ibiza sport]

do u have front spacers on your fr or is it just the back you got 20mm ones ? did you have to get longer wheel nuts to fit the spacers?

 

[hon_n_gem]

No just rear spacers, would have got fronts too if they wernt that expensive. Set me back £120ish for spacers, longer bolts and longer locking wheel bolts! Got them from BadgerBill off this forum!

This is a little off topic but since you only have 5 posts i cant PM you.

This probably sounds like a stupid question but it really bugs me.
Does your boot have an interior light?
In the book it shows one being there but when i open my boot... darkness.. this is kinda crap for me since i finish work at 1am and i have to find my trainers in the dark.

its a bit pot luck whether you have a boot light or not, same with a glove box light. Some have them, some don't

It really is a bit of a pain, i suppose it wouldnt be too much trouble to fit one tho if i really wanted to.
Im going to be putting a custom install with neons or LED's anyway so il get light then.

got 20mm spacers on the back....really worth the money...makes the back look really mean...got mine off ebay with longer bolts
