hey, has anyone fitted the above size tyres/wheels to a fabia vrs before?

they seem really wide, do they rub at all?

cheers in advance

I would have thought too wide and tall

They are way too big. 205/40/17 is the size you need.

so i take it it will rub?

I think not move rather than rub unless you are using a off road lift kit!!!

lmao, bugger, so my octy 2 vrs zeniths are a no go :-(

will not fit....

look out for a set of 17" spiders from an octy vRS mk1.

really suit the fabia vRS.

They won't fit anyway as they are the wrong PCD.

215/40/17 will fit

That size will fit, but not on octy2 zeniths as the wheel will not even bolt onto the fabia.

They will with stud converters

A mate of mine has 215/40/17 on his fabia fine and it is lowered on coilys

i was looking for some wiggly bolts for them, but if the tyres are wrong then sod it. gotta sell them now, brand new bridgies and the wheels r new too, grrr

i have 205/45/17 and they seem to be fine no problems at all

Fit OK but throws your speedo readings out.

hmmmmmmmmm, mixed reviews there, tjink im gonna buy the bolts an give it a go, dont mind about the speedo really, as long as its not telling me im doin 30 an im doin 40 lol

225/45 will never fit

The reviews might be mixed - the fact remains they won't fit.

225/45 will not fit... for christ's sake what's the point in asking for bloody advice if you don't take it...

I have seen somebody try to fit 225/45/17 onto an unlowered MK4 ibiza and the tyres rub on the spring seat = extremely dangerous.

What are wiggly bolts? Dont sound too safe to me.

And would it not have been a wiser move to post this before you bought the wheels ?

And i'll answer too, that size tyre will not fit, and the wheels wont fit without the correct PCD adaptors.

I had them on a Punto way in my past when i could only afford the bolts to go with some freebie alloys

Blatantly stolen from VWVortex Forum via a google search but

Wobble only means that the conical seats are able to slide 2.6mm in either direction to allow for differences in lug patterns. For instance, my wheels are 5x114.3 and our cars are 5x112. When I line up my wheel on the hub, you can see each bolt hole through the lug holes in the wheel. You screw in the bolt and when the head gets closer tot he wheel, the "collars" will slide into the lug holes. They can be torqued just like any other wheel bolt. I was skeptical at first as well and checked them every other week and I never noticed them getting loose at all.

That said I still don't think they'd offer enough of a change to get from Fabia to Octy2 fitment

Oh and the tyres won't fit!

They sound dodgy. What's wrong with using wheels (and indeed tyres) that fit? :confused:

Wobble bolts wont work, too big a pcd difference. Only adapters will

What view do insurers take on wobble bolts.. I can't imagine they like em much at all?

225/45/17 tyres will fit (bloke across the road has them on his standard hight VRS) but they will rub almost constanly so not the best thing to put on it

215/40/17 will fit

I have that size on my spiders and they fit fine
