Featured Replies

Could get cheapp bbs's but just wondering if the tires r too big!? Car not lowered (vrs).

Any help please..

Most 17s that go on fabias are running 2054017

Yes way to big.

If they are bbs lm's, I have 205/40/17 and look perfect, have seen them with 195's as well if you want a stretch look. :)

Tyres are way to big, I guess the wheels were previously on a Golf / Octavia or Audi A3.

I use 215/40/17. Thats about as big as you can go.

Mine are 205/40/17. Perfect size in my opinion, gives a subtle stretch on the octavia wheels.

would 215/45/17 be ok?

No too big

even on standard suspension?

It shouldnt catch but will throw your speed and mpg out and look a bit daft

Where can I pick up some BBS LM Reps in 17"? Can't find them anywhere!

search for mesh alloys on ebay :) they dont list them as lm reps anymore

even on standard suspension?

Yes, the rolling radius is out, thus putting out your speedo, abs etc.

but a 40profile would be fine?

I just got rid of 215/45/17, Looked ok'ish rubbed on the passenger rear inner arch, 225 would be epic

Yes, 205 or 215/40 will be fine.

Im running 205/40/17 and lowered 50mm no rubbing anywhere

What colour are these wheels?? Please don't say silver lol I love how bright these are, want mine like this and getting them done soon

Bright silver? ;)

Sparkle silver? :happy:

I still can't find the LM reps in 17". 16" and 18" and 19" only. Baffled about the 17s :S

They're painted in Audi Silver, I'm unsure which silver exactly but seems to be the same used on the R8 and new shape TT
