Will I get rubbing with these new alloys?

[dooties]

Hey all, looking at a set of Wolfrace Bayern 17 inches because I think the current 16-inch alloys on my 2009 Fabia Sport look very small.

Just comparing the old wheels with the new and was wondering if they'll rub at all on the arch, bearing in mind it's on sports suspension already.

Anyone have any insight they can provide for me before I end up with a set of wheels that don't fit the car?

Cheers!

Wheels by that diagram look fine, it would be handy if you said what they were like 7J x 17 ET41, or what ever.

?

What tyres are going on them. (is it 205/40 R17)

Haha sorry about that, here's a screencap from the site. They come with 4 new tyres, of this spec: 7.5J x17 ET42

Best you call them & see if they can do other tyre sizes and not just order what their website shows.

You can not just fit bigger tyres and fill the gap, well you can but not advisable.

 

215/40 R 17 tyres would be the usual wider tyre, or 205/45 R 17 rather for sidewall height, rather than the usual Mk2 Fabia size for 17" alloys which is 205/40 R 17.  

 

215/45 R 17 just a bit big, but someone might be along that has fitted that size.

Hmm right, ideally, I'd change the tyres to get the wheel diameter back in check but it's from an online auction at an absolute steal of a price from a private seller. Figured I may as well change my wheels now before I have to replace my current tyres where the tread is getting thin. As you said, I hope someone else can chip in who has fitted bigger

You will get suitable wheels / tyres usually advertised in BRISKODA For Sales, and know what you are getting from members.

Much Cheapness often.

I think price is good enough that even if I got a set of 4 used tyres for the alloys I'd still have a bargain.

I'd be very surprised if you had any rubbing from them
