Hey guys,

Quick question as I'm no guru when it comes to wheels!

I've seen some 17's for sale, 8.5J fronts ET25 and 10j rears ET35, tyres are 215/45/17 and 235/40/17.

I have a mk1 fabia vrs, will they fit? I'm aware I may need to do some arch rolling etc, especially on the back!

Cheers!

Model Year PCD Offset Bore

Fabia 00 on 5×100 30 to 45 57.1

I mean with regards to them being too wide, wanting to go down the euro route with things and have a bit of a poke, but will 10's on the back be TOO much poke?

Its the fronts id be concerned about mate.

clearence past the brakes on such a low offset wheel may be an issue.

front arches would need rolling if you want to go low.

You'd definitely need a different tire. .195/40/17 should do it.

biggest wheel ive seen on the rear of a fabia is 9.75j . . And you need lots of camber and lots of stretch to get them in the arches.

Thanks vrs'burks, that was the answer I was looking for. I guess i'll keep on the wheel hunt then, just saw some keskin KT1's at a ridiculously low price!
