bentley alloys on a leon

[dannyFR+tdi]

right then i really want some continental gt's on my car but been told that my et is 35 and the bentley's is 42 now with the 20mm adapters (only available size) id end up with 13mm of the wheel outside the arch (think ive worked it out right) is there anyway aound this as i wanted the wheel flush with the arch if possible as i want coilovers at some point ?? and also would it be possible to have adapters machined to lose the 13mm and be safe?? any help/opinions would be great

Also can anyone give advice on negative camber?????

was in golf+ magazine, and was for sale i think?? its a schweeeeet motor!

i wouldnt machine down the adapters, i have some H&R ones in 20mm and the most you could machine off them is 3mm but i wouldny do that as its your ass on the line,

max offset i would say you could go is 30 to still be under the arch, you will have a offset of 22, so i would say they will stick out 5-10mm,

if you put some -ve camber on and stretched the tyres it will work.

btw good job on thinking outside the box and not going with the norm and picking BBS or comps

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

fancied somethin different to rs6 or ch's rickc think they look good but done to death now (just my opinion, they do look very good thou!!!!!). really wanted these in black with a polished lip,think that would look good shame cant get them to fit and dont fancy negative camber. anywer do custom adapters?? failing this looks like back to plan b, 19'' MAM MT1s what do you think of them

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

then again 5-10mm wouldnt be too bad with slightly streched tyres and coilovers that sat alittle further above them than 1st thought of?? what do you think to this??

 

[DannyC87]

roll the arches out 5-10mm? bit extreme maybe

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

this might work,all opinions welcome please

 

[B3LSY]

do like them bentley wheels would look smart

 

[RickC]

yeah i like the MAMs, but id still go with the bentlys, if you like them and really want them to fit then you will get make it so they do.

you can make anything fit anything

[dannyFR+tdi]

think they would look awesome in black with tinted headlight protectors ! whats the deal with negative camber then? any advantages/disadvantages? and is it safe?
