Been looking for new wheels for a while now and really like the look of 17” TT comps. The offset is 32, will they look ok? Don’t want them sticking out too much. Car is currently on standard springs but planning a wee drop to finish the look. Thinking 20mm front and 30mm rear, will that work ok? i know they wheels fit on mk1 and 2 so am I right to assume they will fit the Mk3?

Top and bottom pics are 17’s middle pic is 16’s. The bottom pic looks perfect imo but worried the 17’s will ruin the ride.

Thanks for the reply mate. I was looking at circumference numbers today and they are very similar. Looking at pictures online and it looks like 17’s fill the arches but in the pic you posted there is still a huge arch gap and it is definitely sitting higher. Maybe 16’s and a drop is the way to go?

Picked up a 2016 Fabia se estate a couple of weeks ago and the 15” alloys just aren’t filling the arches enough. Was originally thinking 16’s but then saw a Fabia on some 17” Camelot wheels and thought it looked great. Searched high and low for some second hand ones but no avail. Spied a nice set of 17” Vrs wheels. Anybody running them on an estate? Also planning to drop the suspension a bit aswell, nothing drastic, maybe 20mm front and 30mm rear. Will this cause clearance issues?

Ok, I have decided it’s 17” wheels I’m after for the Fabia, really like the look of the Camelot wheels on the car. Anybody looking to sell a set? Seen a nice set of 17” VRS wheels (are they called Rays) but I keep going back to the Camelot’s. Got the windows tinted today, planning a wee drop in the ride height aswell. What are people dropping the estate by with 17’s on it? Don’t want it slammed but maybe 20 at the front and 30mm at the rear.

Thanks for the info mate, I’ll have a hunt around for a set it 16” wheels now I know what I’m looking for.

Morning all, I had a 2014 Fabia Monte Carlo Tdi new and kept it 3 years, still the best car I have owned pound for pound. Gave it hell and still got 40 MPG. Anyway after buying a Seat Leon FR estate with DSG then a Clio RS (nice but totally impractical) I’m back in a Fabia Estate with the SE spec. I would have liked a Monte Carlo but budget would not allow. I need the bigger boot for putting my bike in etc, went with the 1.4 Tdi and DSG box, it’s a 2016 66 plate. Already ordered some LED bulbs and windows getting tinted next week, but really fancy upgrading the wheels from 15” to 16”, am I right in thinking I need an ET38 fitment? Also considering dropping it on some springs, nothing too drastic but maybe 20mm at the front and 30mm at the rear. Anybody near Dundee who can fit the springs for me?
