18" + 19" Alloys

[millsyscossie]

Righty ive always updated my previous Bora/Passat with the 18" reps

I know you get 19" reps but how does the leons drive with 19s fitted ??

My car is the FR mrk1 and lowered nicely with Eibach 30mm front 25mm rears

Car currently has the standard FR rims fitted, How do the leons like 19s and any scubbage on arch liners etc etc ??


Cheers for info

All depends on what width and ET the alloys are mate.

Scrubbing issues aside, as rsmith says if you get the correct width and offset that should not be an issue as you will be aiming for the same as the overall size of the original wheel/tyre combo. i've just spent 6 months on 18's and have put the 17's back on because the 18 tyres are shot. The difference in ride quality is immense. 18's give a sportier drive but where much harsher and noisy. Imho 19's would be worse but would look good.
Its swings and roundabouts on comfort v handling and all down to what you are comfortable with.

Ive maybe worded this wrong lol, I know all that ive been there and done cars/fast cars bla bla bla with upgrades/modifying guff

Just wanted to hear from folk thats running 19s to see how it actually drives on the leon, is it a real steering fighter on the road like some cars are with 18s etc etc taking tramlines you cant even see lol
