19" on leon mk1

[JayFR150]

Hey, looking for some new alloys and need some advice. will 19" rims rub on the arches? and as it stands now it isnt lowered so will they make it look like a land rover? or is it best to stick wit 18"?

ive been lookin at some the previous threads but cant come to a conclusion

19s are fine and so are 20s have a look for lcr aftermarket wheels and there is a post of loads of leons with different size wheels

i have 19s on my own and never had any trouble. and it isnt lowered either.

I have 19" RS4s, and plan to lower her too . They fit fine mate.

dont put 19's with out lowering it, its looks GASH!!! only my opinion, but any car with bigger wheels thats isnt lowered looks wrong and ruins the look of the wheels, esp spending alot of cash on 19's do it right, doesnt need to be slammed even a subtle 30mm drop and they will look awsome

"Jay t" hasnt lowered his and that looks good. Id say it'd need lowering on anything other than the ones without the sport suspension like the S models, FR's will be fine imo as they come down a notch or 2 from factory.

I do agree with you though, big arch gap is gash lol

My 19s fill my front arches up very well, it's only the rear that needs doing tbh

i know mine looks good but i think at the minute, but i think if it was lowered i would foul the spliiter everywhere and multistorys are already a no no! so lower your car if its practical not just based on looks alone.
