Has anyone ever tried this before? 

Here are the wheels in question.

 

Thanks

Not seen any Fabias with them although there are a couple running 5 spoke compomotives/team dynamics which look by similar.

Assume if they come off a VR6 they'd be 5x100 as per the VR6 mk3 Golf so should bolt straight on once you've bought the right sized tyres

Tires should be more or less the same. They run 205/50 r15's on corrado. Not masses different to the 195/50's on a fabia. I run 205's now on 15's

Thats what i'm thinking. Dont fancy anything bigger than 16in if possible. And correct they are 5x100:) Only downside is they're ET43 :(

Ah yeah a forgot they'd be 15s.

I bought a set of 4 stud Corrado wheels off a lesser model for track wheels when I had a mk2 Ibiza.

Actually sold them with the car before I'd ever got chance to put them!!

I just fancy a change. The 17in spiders i've got are too harsh on my commute so wanted something smaller with a bigger sidewall.

Thats my argument for sticking to 16s

original wheels 16"

Silver Spiders 16"

Black Spiders 16"

Golf Montreal's 16"

Track Leon wheels 16"

I did have a set of VRS wheels but sold them when the spiders came up lol. As for finding a set in fairly good condition for the right price is impossible, same goes for the Montreals or 16in spiders. Plus i've invested around £480 in the spiders i've got at present so dont really wanna be spending loads more.

Yeah 16" spiders are super thin on the ground at the moment and overpriced when they do come up.

I bought both my sets of spiders and the Montreal's for just over £100 each but they did all need refurbing.

My leon wheels w the biggest steal at £50 for the set. They were dirty but aren't damaged at all.

Join Freedom here for £12 and advertise your spiders as a part-ex deal.

You'll probably find plenty of member who would want to swap original wheels & cash for 17" Spiders...

Which Leon wheels are you talking about?

 

And its not worth it, put a wanted ad up and the best offer I got was from Nathyp offering a set of mint wheels needing 4x tyres for a straight swap. Hardly worth it lol.

The 20 spokers off an early 20vt Cupra

Have part worn but legal 205/45/16s on them

They're the ones I thought of lol. They look good on the Cupra but dont do it for me on a fabia lol.

No one bothers looking in the wanted section if they're wanting to buy wheels though
