Hey all, it's my first car so please excuse the beginner questions. Bought the car with steel rims and plastic hub caps which are an eye sore. Looking to lower the car and find a set of nice used wheels.
1. I've found lowering springs that will lower the car 30mm front and rear. Will this be plenty to make it through speed bumps without slowing down significantly like you see slammed cars doing?
2. I'm looking at used 16" or 17" wheels. Used because I don't want to drop a lot of money. Is there a certain sweet spot where I can find a lot of affordable tires? What wheel sizes (width etc) should I aim for?
3. I will keep the current wheels as winter tires so I'll need to get new tires unless they're included with the wheels. Do I need a full set of TPMS for my 2010 Ibiza?
I'm planning to purchase the lowering springs and wheels and have them fitted by a shop at the same time.
Cheers.
