i appologise as its probably bin asked a million times,

but if the cars say et45 and the wheels im looking at are et60 does that mean they are further in to the arch (so spacers would make them fit better) or is it the opposite way round ie firther out and no chance of getting them closer in.

cheers matt

If your getting spacers make sure you get some decent hubcentric ones like H&R or Eibach.

I think you can get 5x100 to 5x120 adapters but they are also going to be like a 20mm spacer.

Yes H&R do them.

Going to cost a fair bit plus you'll have a 40mm wider track front and back so depends on the right ET you need.

Cost me about £200 more for spacers and a stud conversion. I think the PCD adapters would cost more as they're not just a spacer. Factor that with your wheels, tyres etc.. might get a little expensive. Plenty of nice wheels for an Ibiza. Many a nice VAG replica or off the shelf option.
