Style 68

[Epic]

Hi everyone!
I'm thinking of buying a set of style 68 wheels. Will they fit the '01 1.9i without any spacers? I will buy some if needed in the future but for the moment I want to fit them as they are. Currently I'm running on 16" style 45.

Style 68 size is:
Front: 7,5J x17 et41
Rear: 8,5J x17 et50

I would imagine they should be fine without spacers.

Good choice. I just put a set on my car and they really suit it.

I've seen very few 1.9 with them fitted over the web and I know that the rear clearence is smaller on 1.9.

Not sure you'll have an issue tbh - but there will be others on here more knowledgeable in the art of the offset

Would this answer the question

The wheels will go on fine on a facelift front offset the same rear different by 12mm I think .
If you want the rears right out at the edge of the aches then they will need spaced but if not the 225/ 45/ 17 front and 245/ 40 / 17 rears are good to go as they are hope this helps.

Where'd you get those cool rock guards that extend below the door?

What size tyres do you run on 17's?

What size tyres do you run on 17's?

Style 68 are staggered 17
225/45/17. Front
245/40/17. Rear

Front wheels mounted tomorrow rears.
They are sticking out a little bit, will there be any problems?

Should be fine under normal driving - just don’t attack any traffic calming humps or potholes! They look great - the rears when fitted will probably need spacers to complement the front.

I understand that wheels should not protrude out from the arch/body line.
