A friend just offered me a nice set of polished 15" Audi alloys. I had originally wanted to put 16s on the Fabia, but these wheels are nice

Does anybody have any pictures of other Fabias on 15" wheels (maybe some stock shots of the 2.0) - would just like to see how the size compares to the car.

Cheers!

This was my current car, the day I picked it up. Was riding on 15" Golf GTI alloys. You need 195/50 R15 tyres for them I believe.

EDITED bad IMG tag

Ohh... That looks quite good! It seems a bit high though - is that the little wheels doing that, or is the suspension still standard? I have just bought ScoobyChris's TDI and it comes with Eibach springs.

Do you have an offset and width for those wheels? I presume they'll be about the same as the Audi ones?

J,

Here are pics of my ride.....originally on Momo Sports shod with 185 55 15s subsequently 205 45 16s with BBS RX....

Hi,

Jason do you (or others) known if the pd100 will ride on 16" tyres?

Best wishes

John

I believe you can either use

15"

16" 205 45 or

17" 205 40

The bigger the wheels the more you would probably want to lower the car, or you will get the old 'tractor look'

Yeah, as Goodas said.

My car is now about 75mm lower, that the shot above.

And yeah, lowering does improve. Scoobychris' car is about 30mm lower than the shot above, which helps a lot.

How about 205/55/16" Jason.

Bye the way hows the project coming along?

To big, the Fabia vRS runs 16" wheels with 205/45 16 tyres.

Hi all - thanks for the shots.

Picked-up the car today - it's absolutely fantastic. Love it. Currently back on standard supension, but I have the lowering springs, so that'll get done once this Eibach group-buy goes ahead.

Thinking Audi A2 chrome six-spokes for the time being. Match the chrome of the grille.

Looking forward to seeing what mods you do to it - keep us posted

This is my 2.0 with 15s. Click on the link and scroll down, you'll see it there.

I'd take that car back to Skoda - someone's put the steering wheel on the wrong side!

Looks good btw, those 15"'s really fill the arches nicely once the car is lowered

Gee, thanks dude:D

Mil, your car is the nuts. Is it on coily's in that picture? I was going to go with the Eibach spring and damper setup.

Nope, just very low H&R springs

OK - lower than the Eibach ones that everyone else uses (and that I have in the boot of my car...)?

I suppose..?
