rob@stoke Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) hi, well i recently got some ibiza cupra wheels to go on my tdi, im told they will fit with 195/40/16 tyres on, but obviosly on standard shocks it will look quite tall, so, how low can i go? im thinking at just going 40mm because i dont want it silly low, as i have to drive on some pretty rough roads and dirt tracks. but also dont want it looking 4x4, lol!any advise welcome, thanks, rob Edited January 12, 2009 by rob@stoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarroll Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Personally i think 16s dont look right on a loop/arosa cos the car is just so small. You can pick a lower profile tyre which will help but then depends on if you want coilies or springs. Ive got a 60/40 kit which aint bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkie Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 get coilovers so you can drop it until you are happy with the ride height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_slipp Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 My old 16v was lowered on collies with 16s, running 195/40s. 195/40s will give approximately the same rolling circumference. It looked good and didn't rub, so if your offset is right it should be ok to deck on collies. But if I did it again I probably wouldn't go for 16s, due to size of car and also harshness.
