Anything will fit if you try hard enough

Hi peeps...
I am absolutely a wheel noob. I am looking on purchasing a set of 15 x 8 Borbet A reps. I have already been told that they won't fit without flaring the guards. Which I am OK to do, but is it really required? What else needs to be done? I am also looking at lowering a bit (not too much)
Also what width tyre would be required to get a little stretch look to it... (no too much)
If anyone else has this spec of wheels on an Ibiza any feedback would help.
Thanks

iv had a blank on the forum name of the guy who had some wide wheels on his seat. pretty sure they would have been pushing 8s
Yea, you will be able to fit it. Fitment will depend on:
Offset
Ride Height
Tyre Size
(too a less extent camber as well)
a 185/45 will give it a nice stretched look. A 195/50 may look a bit bulky.

Happy to help!
let us know how you go!
So I got the wheels, they are a 15x7 not 8. I settled for the Remotec A's that Lewis (LWR) was selling.. All paid for and waiting for them to arrive from.QLD. Can't wait..
I also got lucky with some Eibach pro kit's from here: Seat Buy suspension from Eibach including adjustable suspension and automotive coil springs. Best thing is that these guys are local (Mona Vale NSW)
All I need now are a set of tyres. Looking at possibly 195/45 or 185/45. Will post up some shots of the car once everything is fitted.

That'll look great on the 'biza! 195/45 will be OK I think.
cool wheels!
185/45 or 195/45
a 50 profile would make it look too bulky, imo.
Got some deliveries yesterday!! Very pleased atm. Just trying to arrange tyres... damn 195/45's are almost impossible to find.. any ideas where I can get some?
