What wheels?

youngsyd · 27-03-2008, 23:29

Got a Fabia Sport 1.9 tdi, just fitted eibach, and just wondering if anyone recommends 17's or 18's?

I was contemplating the Ocy A5 vrs 18s.....

wooooo wooooo woooooo I have a few days away from the forum and you get a new motor??? What's goin' on???

Cheers

Dave.

Is it a dealer demo Syd, or yours proper?

Is the Fabia Mk2 5x112 then? For some reason I thought they were still using 5x100.

17" Skoda Kentaur?

jiggad23 · 28-03-2008, 15:17

You could allways expand across the VAG range Lambo rims or maybe bentley !9 inch splits for that oem+ look!!!

youngsyd · 28-03-2008, 16:13

A-Hem.....not my car...work it out from that!

I was thinking the Kentaurs....

Just fancied somthing different....

Ocy is out the window now though!

skodayouth · 28-03-2008, 16:51

What about the 18" wheels from the Roomster, think I read somewhere else on here someone had got those

They look the dogs!

I'd have some but I already have 16" (They look much smaller) and the ride is already on the Audi side (Firm).

youngsyd · 28-03-2008, 17:40

Was thinking of some Audi replica things....but not sure as there HEAVY!

JonA · 28-03-2008, 17:49

I could put on my Kentaurs and take a picture or two of my car next week if that would help you?

Enjoy "your" new Fabia!

That would be nice mate if you could, it would give us an idea...

What size tyres have you gone for?

Cheers

nutztoys · 28-03-2008, 20:19

Hi youngsyd,

Here is a link with a Fabia on steroid.... sorry 18" wheels. According to the owner the ridecomfort is OK but off course on the firm side. Most important there are no problems with clearence or scrubbing against the body.

Skoda Fabia 2 ** Sport ** - Bilgalleri.dk - Danmarks strste bilgalleri

It is 7.5x18 , ET48

Hope it helps you.

I bought these tyres: Pirelli P ZERO NERO205/40 ZR17 84W XL

Haven't tried them yet, but I hope they are OK

17" Team Dynamics look good. The cars lowered too

That look very good! Makes me think about buying white rims for my car

youngsyd · 02-04-2008, 16:04

Looks ok....

ScarlettWitch · 02-04-2008, 16:10

I was really surprised how many good wheels Demon Tweeks stocked now!!
Worth a look

youngsyd · 02-04-2008, 16:46

I do prefer to pay a good price though not a demon thieves price...but thanks for the heads up.

JonA · 02-04-2008, 23:12

Here is what mine looks like with the summer wheels on

Not the most exotic wheels on the market, but I like them!

Enjoy!

youngsyd · 03-04-2008, 08:59

Can Octavia A4 17" Spiders be fitted ok to these then like the mk1 fabia?

That looks great, I don't know why Skoda don't make these wheels a factory fit option on the Fabia. Gives a lot of hope for the new Fabia RS

You might have issues, as I think the offset is higher on the Fabia Mk2. IIRC, I've read that it's 48. Spiders are either a 32 or a 35 (I forget which) so they'll stick out further than std wheels. This may be no bad thing as they'd then have the potential to fill the arches quite nicely. But you'd be best to check some (if possible) before committing, to see how they sit in the arch, and if you get any rubbing.

youngsyd · 05-04-2008, 10:33

What do you think?

jiggad23 · 05-04-2008, 11:00

Looks good !!! is it lowered 40mm ? have you got any pics from the front end ?
