19inch RS6's on my Leon

Hi, I've finally got round to uploading some pics of my Leon Cupra TDi with 19inch RS6 replica's on
By the time I'd cleaned the car it was getting dark so excuse the poor quality

Looks well... could do with a drop though now

Very nice... just needs lowering, coz its abit "aye be ma tractor" at that height... but good start without a doubt for 19"s!

Nice wheels, suit the car well. Definitely needs lowering though

 

[stuart86]

needs lowering

cant help thinking that 18's would be better suited tho

19's are fine imo, just drop that b***h to the floor

 

[richieroo]

looks cool! now drop it on the deck!

 

[beezasport]

will 19's rub when lowered?

Not if you're sensible with the amount you lower it. I think 'slamming it to the deck' would ruin the look of this car. It just needs to be lowered enough to bring the arches and tyres closer to each other. Any lower and you'll spoil it, IMO.

 

[beezasport]

yeah it doesn't want slamming....the normal drop is about 40mm isn't it (i think)!!
looks really nice though!

40mm on a Tdi? You'll be lucky I don't think mine went down more than 25mm and even that's on the limit for missing skimming the sump

 

[slick]

Pats right, you really have to be careful with the TDI on lowering, I'm lucky on the sump thing as not many speed bumps where i drive... as mines lowered to the deck almost, only 15mm from the tyre to the arch... but i have 19"s also...
the secret to lowering that hard is coilovers.... that way the rim never touches the arch while throwing it around, normal dampers would allow the wheel to hit the arch...

 

[beezasport]

ohhh didnt realise it was a tdi!! ok ok i didnt read it properley!!
slick yours looks really well!

Mine dropped 35mm and i'd say thats about the limit you can drop with skimming the sump. Seeing how low Slicks car is side by side I have know effing idea how he hasnt ripped it off lol!

HA HA, i have had you all fooled, its actually a 20VT....

No really, i dont know either... its just i REALLY REALLY careful on bumps.... in essex not many bumps, just alot of straight dual carriage way and roundabouts... heaven for my leon!!

Which reminds me, need to get the Diesel geek skid pan.... group buy anyone... lol
