Fabia vrs rim width?????????

okeh · 09-02-2008, 18:54

Hi

I have had a search through some old posts but couldnt find the info im looking for.
What i need to know is
"what is the rim width of a standard fabia vrs wheel"?

Im looking at the rims on ebay at the moment but dont know the width im looking for

jasc1988 · 09-02-2008, 18:55

Im guessing 6.5"

Thats a guess btw, see how close i am

okeh · 09-02-2008, 19:00

The rims on ebay seem to give the width by using a number then J
(ie) 8 then J

jasc1988 · 09-02-2008, 19:01

J just means inches

7J means 7 inches wide

(think)

okeh · 09-02-2008, 19:03

looks like the 8J audi rims i was thinking of bidding on will be a bit too fat then

Wardy · 09-02-2008, 19:05

8s will go on. Std wheel is indeed a 6.5.

vRS Spiders commonly fitted to the Fabia are a 7.5, so you're not far off

I'd run 215/40s with them and you might get a little rubbing on full lock. Which style Audi wheel are you pondering?

Is this to go on a VRS or a stanard Fabia?

should look nice in antharcite.

Im really liking the audi tt 5 spokes at the min. so if anyone wants to swap for some Octy Spiders drop me a PM

okeh · 09-02-2008, 19:14

A vrs

i was going to get some 17,s but due to my car at the moment just clearing my sloping drive by about 1mm on standard rims and suspension after some thought i didnt fancy sticking bigger wheels on then splashing out to lower the car back to a standard height

jasc1988 · 09-02-2008, 19:18

Hmm in that case i would just antharcite the standard VRS rims, think they would look better

okeh · 09-02-2008, 19:23

I was thinking that myself

The problem is that its a lot easier to drop your rims off to get refurbed than leave the car there whilst they do it.

jasc1988 · 09-02-2008, 19:25

Buy the Audi's as the spares then and rufurb the fabia ones

okeh · 09-02-2008, 19:31

I might as well buy some non alloy wheels to skate around on whilst the fabia wheels are being powder coated

<starts new ebay search>

Confirm on those, as they look suspiciously like the ones used on the A4 B5 shape SEs, so would therefore be 5x112 PCD and you'd need adaptors. Also, I don't believe they're 8s at all!
