I got 195/45 on my 8s they look smaller than that, are they 205?

Running 195/45. I love the hole scene thing and if I could afford air ride I would. But as a daily and someone who likes to use all the donkeys under the bonnet iv kept it slightly higher so I can keep my splitter and less scraps ad bangs. The tyres do look abit chunky tbf. Might try 40's on the next set. Ill get another pic up from a different angle.

I don't dislike the wheels. Just that they look too big for the car.

I reckon they'd look brill on an old school bimmer.

thats coz of the tires. . Need a lower profile. . There only 16s so deffo not too big.

The backs sit better than the front.. can u not get staggered et front + back? Or staggered widths? Im sure iv seen them with concave faces on the rears + flat faces on the front..

ATM the fronts poke abit too much + the tyres do look too big.. theres a massive price difference in 195/40 + 195/45 tyres unfortunatly :( so to get budgets in 195/40 ull be paying more than decent 195/45..

If u could get the fronts sat in further + lowered it you might get away with the 45s

I love these wheels!!!

I nearly bought a set of these as 16's the other day. I put a post on here asking if people thought they would fit and was told they wouldn't!!! Grrrrr lol

Hmmmm so it is possible after all :P

Have u used any spacers etc.?

 

Mine's on coilovers and standard wheels atm.

They are direct fit on there site they list 16" 5x100 so they don't need anything to fit

Sweet that what I thought Thanks

they come in 8j and 9j man. . Dont know about et's. . . Just wish they did em in 17" but ever man n his dog has 3sdms now :(

The 16" come in 8j and 9j but they where out of stock on 9j so I went for 8j all round. Save on arch work. The 18 are only concaved on the rears and flat faced on the fronts. Think ill go for 40's on the next set. Ill get the coilovers lower this week and see how it looks. No spacers on these but might get some for the backs??!

Olly Pot any ideas what et yours are?

Looking at ordering a set of 16x8s tomorrow but having last minute worries (yes girly I know!)

Got a set of 205/45/16's waiting to go on

205/45s will be too big

He has 195/45s on and they look fairly chunky

You will have extra width so the tyres will look dougnuty which doesnt work on this style of wheel :/

These are et 10. I'd go for 195's and up to you on profile. I'm going to stick with 45's as I think it looks fine and the extra tyer is nice.

ET 10 is probably the issue on the front when standard vrs alloys are ET 42 as M9YTY said staggered ET's would be better like F 25 and R 10 but then i dont know what spec's they do . . .

Seen a polo 9n with these the other day and the poke on the front was hilarious! It was awfull i have never seen poke on the front on a car like this before and i can see why, he thought it was the ****** while everyone just stared as he drove past and thought what the actual F . Think the fabia has more arch flare on the front luckily, well it looks that way on the pics of the red one unless the polo had 9s front and back.
