I am sure I have seen this somewhere before, but been offered some Audi TT 18 inch wheels for my vRS, has anybody got a photo of them on a Fabia? I have had a quick search through and come back with nothing...I am not sure how they will look.

I've been told that the TT wheels are no go for a Fab vRS, although it could be wrong ?

What are those things you have on the Octy? They're quite new....

Deleted

think they would look a tad to big for the fabia

The TT wheels, went on for a bit but I decided I didn't like them... so there up for sale in the sales section....

Back on orig 16 " vRS combi wheels.

Ahh ok. I agree...they didn't really suit the car. Standard ones look better.

I have got 17" RS4 reps on my car, seem to go quite well. You want pictures?

Shaun

Please

I was just gonna suggest Shaun

18s will look OTT I think. Plus you'll need a pretty uncompromising tyre width/profile to run them inside the Fab's arches - 215/35/18. 215 would be your maximum width, and you can't really go past a 35, as there'll be issues with rolling radius and speedo accuracy etc.

Steve

These are mine with 17x7.5 rims with 205/40/17. There is a little bit of stretch but nothing much.

P.S. Your new wheels will not fill the archs like in the above pics

18" wheels/tyres would give a harsh ride, due to the very low profile.

Also, check the offest & PCD beforehand.

IMO, 17" wheels/tyres are a better package.

I love the 17" TT Comps on mine!

And so do I . Wish I had to money to buy the set Steve had

Shaun

And I wish I'd never got rid of them at all! :grumpy:

There you go, hindsight's a wonderful thing. Can't quite bring myself to buy another set either, or something similarly nice within the VAG family (S3 Avus-II, Octy vRS Spiders etc). Like the way mine's riding on 16s too.

Yeah, you're not wrong about the arch filling Shaun! That's because you're running coilovers

Steve

When I first got my wheels I thought it would fill the gap that was there, but how wrong was I!! Made it look worse.

Shaun

Yeah, probably a common misconception, to be fair. The gap ends up being maintained, and because of bigger wheels looks worse

Saw this happen countless times with mate's cars. The 4x4 look - lovely! Which is why I'd always do suspension first, before going to a larger wheel size.

Steve

I havent got any pics of mine at stock ride height and the wheels (the VRS is 15mm lower, not much). Only thing I can do it get comparison pics of mine next to my mums tractor. My mums car has smaller wheels, so you have to imagine how much higher i would be with my wheels on.
