Wheel Sizes? Help Please

[Adamweal]

So... its probably been asked many times before but being as im a bit of a idiot i cannot find anything on the search ive been looking for some new wheels for the fabia (note only looking haha) and i want them to look as standard as possible (not sticking out the side and not rubbing) im looking at getting 17" so what et and j am i looking at getting if this is the look i want?

Thanks for any help!

Just take into consideration that the standard wheels are ET35 I believe, and 6.5" wide.

so would ET35 and 7" be ok do you think?

would be fine. . I've got 17" et25 8.5inch wide on back of mine. . Depends on the stance ur after. . Wheel fitment is a never ending story when you look deep into it haha. . .

That's fine. Anything around that, give or take 15mm

When I bought 17" wheels it took them with ET38 and 7J. And in the front they sit ok but in the back a 1cm spacer will be fine. Maybe the ET35 will be bether.

Maybe this two links will help you for a bether decision.

I'm running 17x8" on the front and 17x9.5 on the rear with a 80mm drop. I admit I have a little stretch on the tyres but they don't catch or rub at all :-).

Similar et. . Maby a little lower to bring the face of em out slightly, and owt between 7/7.5inch wide will look normal.

I think my old 17" TT comps were 7.5" wide with ET42 offset and they looked pretty much level with the arches
