Octavia VRS Spider Rim swap for ATS 17's

Hi All.

I recently bought Wardy's ATS type 10 rims for my Ibiza Cupra and sadly they dont clear my calipers so I'm after swapping them for some Mk1 Octavia VRS Spider rims as I assume they'll clear.
They are 7.5 x 17, 5 x 100 approx et30.

Drop me a text on 07970 623380 if your interested.


Thanks
Jimbo

And the spiders are not et30 either, more like 38.

To clear the AP's you'll need ET32, something like Audii TT Comp 17's.

ET isnt the be all and end all. Spoke design is the key. The standard Cupra wheels are ET40 (ish) which kinda proves this.

But they are 18's, aren't they? More room for spokes.

Good luck mate

The only ones I know for certain to clear are the Comps as Pat mentioned, and the 17" Avus-II fitted to the A3 (8L shape).
