18" Wheels on LEON

[skullmunki]

yes...RS4's are common as muck, but i like em..

 

[tintintin]

Common they maybe but they do suit some many VAG cars its easy to see why.
Always a good safe choice.

A bit off topic, but anyone know where to get replacement Centre Caps like those shown on skullmunki pics? They look about the same size as mine although our wheels are different so wondering if it's a universal part?

 

[EmDee]

there are loads of people on ebay who sell centre caps with any logo in any size. I got sopme off there years ago and they were great

What size profile tyres do you guys use to keep a similar diameter to the standard wheels to keep the speedo reading true and how has the ride of the car changed with a lower profile tyre as i'm looking to get coilovers and would like to know how rough the ride could be lol

 

[brightsideteeem]

example sizes:

205/55/16 < my old wheel size

225/45/17< starfish cupra size

225/40/18 < Cupra R size - wouldnt go any bigger than this really

225/35/19 < bone shaker.

I went for something different as RS4's and RS6's have been done to death around the Midlands, SO I opted for the Audi S3/S8 Alloy Wheels in 5 x 100 fitment sitting on 225/40/18's

looks good mate

 

[Dione J]

cheers, still toying on the idea whether to lower or not?

 

[brightsideteeem]

i would

 

[Dione J]

How much do you reckon I should lower by - dont want it too low as I have a family but dont want a harsh or bouncy ride

Any pics of what you guys are lowered on and how much by?

 

[elliott87]

mine....

 

[brightsideteeem]

looks good but I'd worry about hitting bumps tbh, and allignment reasons.
If you ever need tracking will they fit the gauges under the arch? Or would they have to use optical guages?

 

[elliott87]

never had any speedbump i cant get over yet

 

[Dione J]

Elliott - What are you lowered on & how much by?

 

[brightsideteeem]
