Will these alloys fit mk2 Fabia vrs?

Featured Replies

Hi all just wanted to know if these wheels would fit my car.

 

17inch multifit 5x100&5x110, 8J all 4 offset 30.

 

Also what's the max width you can go with this car?

 

thanks in advance.

8" wide rims are excessive, you might have issues with fouling the arches while steering and it'll aquaplane horribly.

Yep will fit perefect, No issue's there.

"skoda eshop cz" shows a 205/40R17 on a 7Jx17 ET41 as a standard option on the Fabia MK2.

So fitting 205/40R17 on 8Jx17 ET30 is similar to adding 10mm wheel spacers to the standard rims as far as the positioning of the centre of the tyre in relation to the bodywork goes.

 

8J is stretching the 205/40 tyres to the max, so won't give the rims much protection from kerbing damage, and the stretched sidewalls will give quite a hard ride.

 

ET30 does seem a bit extreme, but maybe that's the point. ET35 would be less likely to rub and/or have the tyres stick out past the edge of the bodywork.

So the most I can go really is 8j ET35 with 205/40 on to be safe of mo rubbing. I don't mind having the tyre stretched.

 

I brought some 8.5j, 9.5j staggered they are far too big wide lol. Alloy websites say they will fit my car though???

Because of the 8J wide rims stretching the sidewalls to the max, even the ET35 could rub. Even if they didn't rub straight away, would you want a tiny gap that could end up rubbing in the future...perhaps after bushings and bearings etc. start to wear and change the clearance.

 

It could work out expensive if you find that you can't use your rims because of rubbing.

 

Audi A1 rims might be more suitable. 7.5Jx17 ET34 and 7.5Jx17 ET36 are listed on the "vw online parts catalogue".

I've ran 18"x 8J ET38  on the fabia on 215/25/18 without issues, Also ran 17"x8j ET30 with no issues & lowered 40mm

I'm now running 17"x7j alloys, 18's looked great but not practical.

Hi, same car and colour as mine. Do you find running your 17 x7j alloys alot better now then? 

 

What's the ideal ET if you run 8j on 18" or 17"?
