17 inch cupra r wheels

[Bobby.Gee]

Can you get 17 inch cupra r wheels.

Someone interested in my wheels says you can, i thought they were all 18s.

 

[BoomhaueR]

Cupra R has 18" and the FR has 17" I think.

 

[Bobby.Gee]

oh ok.... my bad then thought all cupra R wheels were 18 inch.

I EU spec was a version called Monza - with Cupra R bumpers and Cupra R rims but in 17". I just pick up mine 17" for a winter setup. Tomorrow I will put some pictures.

As the guys have said there is a 17" version but they are very rare.
Why would you want to go down to 17"s Rob ? They'll look tiny

 

[Bobby.Gee]

i dont mate...

Someone interested in my wheels asked if they were 17s or 18s.

Im going to 18s of course, im even thinking 19s.

i just need to sell my wheels first which i have advertised and just replyed to my 7th email...

Maybe they are to cheap!

 

[D.K]

Oh I get ya.
How much you got them up for ?They normally got for around £500 with good tyres

 

[Bobby.Gee]

The 17" version also fits over the LCR Brembos

They were fitted to the FR+ and were available long before that.

 

[Gubien]

Due to taxes in Denmark, they was "stock". I have them on my LCR. With brembo, as my winter rims/tires at the moment.

 

[techie]

I had LCR Brembos on my Fabia in the above pic.

Well, you learn something new every day! I honestly didn't know that the 17" FR+ wheels fit over the LCR Brembo callipers. Techie, were you running the full LCR-size 323mm discs too? I thought that was why the 18" wheels were required on the LCR.

This is why we love SCN Always something new to learn!

I've seen a fair few FR+ Leons and I always think the 17" R Reps look really small. Smaller than the Cupra starfish and FR wheels. Not that they are, but just look it.

 

[jamandspoon81]

maybe a stupid question but would the lcr be faster 0-60 with 17's?

I agree; maybe it's because I'm used to the 18s but the 17s do look really small. What size tyre do they run usually?

 

[daboy3000]

I haz! Who wants them, good price, likey, likey love them longtime!

Pretty certain they're the same as the Cupra/FR at 225/45

Makes a hell of a difference that 5!


As for faster 0-60 that depends on total circumference and weight, from an online calculator thing I once found, the difference between 18's on 40 and 17's on 45 is only very very slight.

They may be lighter due to been smaller, but I can't see it making any difference with the difficulty getting power down anyway.

Yeah you're right 225/45/17

woop, on the ball tonight! Found the calculator too:

18" 225/40 profile
Results for your selected Wheel/Tyre
Rolling Radius 317.15mm
Circumference 1992.71mm
Diameter 634.3mm

17" 225/45 profile
Rolling Radius 318.6mm
Circumference 2001.82mm
Diameter 637.2mm

Fancy that, the 17" are larger with tyres, now that's gonna throw spanners in the works for working out accelerations. I'd say, not gonna make a difference.
