What's the PCD of them? Are they Audi wheels by any chance? In which case they're likely to be 5x112 rather than the 5x100 the Fabia uses...?

7.50 - This is the width of the rim

17 - Is the size of the wheel

ET32 - The offset

225 width tyres wont fit on the fabia and will rub, 205 or 215 are needed.

Hope thats correct

Yep - those alloys will be fine on the Fab, as long as you fit 205/40/17 or 215/40/17 tyres.

I keep toying with the idea of putting 225/35x17s (Michelin Sports

Don't know why you'd bother to be perfectly honest? 215s are perfectly fine, and also run a slightly kinder profile. A 35 will be mighty firm!

45mm profiles will mostly likely rub and offset the speedo a lot, you need 40mm (Up in rim size, down in tyre profile).

Tyre profile isnt in mm, its a percentage of the width.

Fabia156 when you were running the 225/35x17 was it on standard shockers/springs or uprated shockers/lowers or a combination of the two?

I was hoping to use lowered springs with standard shockers i.e. Standard shockers are approx. 20% softer so putting the 225s on should firm the suspension up without the expense of uprating the shockers - hopefully not compromising the ride.

I was bothering because I will need as much traction as I can get if I get my vRS remapped to 300lb/ft torque!

No worries, everybody learns something then.

My car has h&R springs with standard shocks..If you reallly need that extra bit for traction then go for these tires.. but like i said you will have to give up on some comfort especially if you use low springs.. but traction is and Handling is very good as these tires are very low profile
