as above what are people running?

205/40/17 is what you need

I run 215 - to be honest I've seen people run both 205 and 215 with no issues. However if you have a 17" rim you best with 40 profile rather than 45 as you wont run the risk of rubbing (and in the future if you want to lower it).

205/40/17 on mine to and it still rubs a bit on the front

215/40/17 Just like the way it sits on the rims.

Guess it gives a little more protection for the wheels when the missus drives it! :'(

+1

The slightly wider tyre helps if you touch a kerb, very little in it though! Kerbs are best avoided IMO!

Yeap, if my missus scratches my new refurbed spiders I'm gonna go mental! Lol

Are 18"s considered too big for the fabia.. ?

Are 18"s considered too big for the fabia.. ?

Considered to be, yes. But it is not unfeasible to fit them with 215/35 R18 tyres. Just expect issues if quite lowered, and on full lock to lock.

Thanks D-U...

Its on standard suspension, don't want it to look like a roller skate though. Need to find some pics. looking at BBS Ch reps...

18" bbs ch (dno if reps or not)

+ mine whe i was running 18" by 8 front 9 rear lm reps

Lowered on 30mm eibach springs with 215/35 18 tyres

In retrospect 18s look like stilts lol

Thanks Matt, think thats a sale and will use my re-ferbed OEM wheels with winter tyres...

Liked your VRs estate build thread btw. Nice job.

205/40/17

I had 215 but from the back I think they looked to wide and looked turd so took them off

Pics .. ?
