| 17" a8 replicas on a Favia vRS Hi, I am looking to get some 17" a8 replicas for my Fabia vRS with a 25 mm drop. When I called the wheel supplier they were not sure if they would clear the brake calipers. I have the 312mm set up so does anyone have these fitted or know if they will be ok? I haver a photoshop pic of them on the car and it looks really nice but this now has me worried!!  Any feedback/help would be very much appreciated. All the best

| Re: 17" a8 replicas on a Favia vRS Even the 16" wheels will clear them.

So even though the spokes are a flat design, they should be ok??

I really am surprised you've not been stopped by the coppers with that on your roof....... If it was me i'd have been pulled before i got off the end of my road!!! And i bet it's a bitch driving through thunder storms!!!  The wheels look spot on though. Cheers Dave. | |
