Alloys and Suspensions

[Luke_123]

Looking at 19 inch alloys for my leon probably be on 235/35 tyres, Does anyone else have 19 inch alloys and have Coilovers or springs in if so what mm are they at to prevent any rubbing on the arch etc?
Thanks

There is a lot to consider when thinking wheels and lowering etc.

So wheel width will have an impact on what offset you can run with lowering springs.

19x8.5 ET45 with 235/35 R19 Tyres is a safe bet for lowering and what Revo and Racingline recommend for these cars.
OEM wheels are 19x8 ET50, so the 235/35 R19 tyres sit squarer relative to the wheel. So although a 10mm spacer may give the wheel a similar poke to the 19x8.5 ET45 wheel, the tyre is more likely to rub.

Your best bet is to aim for 19x8.5 ET45 or use that as a safe basis and compare using the link below with what you like, to see how much of a difference there is...
