Leon Mk4 wheel offset

The original size is et46.
You want to install et39 on it means. The rim shift 7mm.
If I have it correct, this means the wheel comes out 7mm. This should be no problem.
Other way around it can be an issue with the suspension or front schok absorber.
In that case if you lift up the car and your hand fits in between. It should have 15mm gap, meaning still room.
Les then 5mm is never good. Because the tire can flex and hit the schockabsorber.

Not quite so simple, you have to also take into account rim width!
Leon standard 18" is 7.5Jx18 - where as the OP wants 8.0Jx18!
So 1/2" - 12.7mm wider rim - which is an additional 12.7/2 (about 6.5mm) ontop of your 7mm ET shift - so I make that about 13.5mm more wheel sticking out.
Most of the Leon 19's wheels are 8Jx19 ET49 but I see one OEM option at 8JX19 ET43 listed for the Leon MK4 - so an 8Jx18 ET39 is 'probably' ok.
Didnt't look to the rim size indeed.
Reason of it 225/40/18 is normal tire size for the leon.
Even he didn't specify the size itself. but 18 or 19inch does not change anything.
@SuperV8
You are correct that the rim width is also important.
It will come indeed more out, but always look to the room on the inside, This is roughly the same in both situations

In Netherlands I am aware that the law say that the rim is maximum be allowed 30mm outside the body.
Other countries I am not aware about these rules.
If AI search for the law in England. Then the tiresurface is not allowed to stick out of the body at all.
Over the rim there is no rule/law mentioned. The reason they often run stretched tires.
