Ive been thinking bout getting these wheels for a while now. It would either be 18'' or 19'' on my Leon FR+.
Has any one got any pictures of these wheels on a Leon. Sorry i havent got a pic of the wheels.

They suit the Leon so well they should have been factory fitted. I personally don't like things that look aftermarket, lights, bodykits, wheels, etc - thats just my taste in mods. But they look so good they should have been there all the time!

19's the way forward!!!! Red LCR above is an absolute fav of mine!

18's would look good with a mean drop....

Yep they are indeed 19's.
Thanks for the comments. :redface:

Congrats on doing something original, effective and very tasteful.

But excuse me for asking - in that picture the rear wheel looks too far forward in the arch (as in, off centre) - has someone messed with the picture or is that just the way it is?

Sadly it seems all Leons suffer with this when lowered a lot. A minimal amount of lowering is fine, but when you enter coilover territory and drop it more than, say, 40+mm the wheel appears to be too far forward. If you look at pictures of Leons that have been lowered by more than this sort of amount, most if not all of them suffer with it.

I'm using 3 mm spacers at the front to clear the adjuster ring on the coilovers.
The rims are 8.5 J all round and ET 30 so they fill the arch!
No rubbing whatsoever, even when fully loaded.

What are your thoguhts on the 19x8?

Do you think they will clear without spacers?
