Hey Everyone,

 

I was just wondering if anyone knows what the best alloy width or offset would be to get them to sit flush with the wheel arch?

 

Thanks

The rim width and offset partly depends on the tyre size.

 

Narrower tyre tends to have less offset.

 

Wider tyre tends to have more offset.

 

Take a look at wheel-size.com to see what rim widths and offsets the Fabia MK2 uses as standard.

wheel-size.com does often make mistakes, but you should get the general idea.

 

Also, take a look at these 15" Audi A1 rims.

 

You can see rims with 6Jx15 ET29 and 6.5Jx15 ET34 specifications.

185/55R15 fitted to 6Jx15 ET29 or 195/50R15 fitted to 6.5Jx15 ET34 might be a good starting point for that flush with the outside of the wheel arch look.

If they sit flush with the wheel arch they'll hit it under full compression.
