Cupra 300 - Homolgated Wheel and tyre sizes

[Benmac]

Does anyone have the list of homologated wheel and tyre sizes available for a 300 ST 4drive?

In other cars I've owned they're always listed in the manual but the Leon says they're on the CoC which I don't have unless I ask Seat for it.

Reason is that I want to buy a spare set to put winter tyres on and I am wondering whether to get a set of Cupra 19s or maybe drop an inch and get a set of FR 18s. The idea with the 18s being slightly more tyre sidewall and probably a bit cheaper for tyres.

Obviously the aesthetic part of me wants to stay with 19s!

German brochure will have this. I found a whole doc of vw wheel sizes at one point so I'm sure a seat version is out there.

Ta, I'll have a look.

About half way down - the book titled "wheels and tyres"

Ta, found it.

Amusingly for the Cupra the permitted wheels are the 19s they come on or the 18s from the FRs. Then in the recommended winter tyre sizes section the biggest tyre recommended is a 205/55 R17

As such I think I'll just get a set of 19s ideally or 18s if I can get a decent set cheaply and put on winters that are the same sizes as the summers.

At least it's cleared up.

19x8 235/35/19 isn't it?

Yeah, that's standard. Manufacturers often have a few alternate wheel and tyre sizes that are "allowed" - sometimes they're smaller for things like winter tyre use.

My idea is that if I got something other than the identical sized ones as standard, as long as it's a size Seat has homologated for the car I'd have no issues with insurance and the like. Looks aside some 18s with beefier sidewalls might not be a bad thing in winter. I've already winced at hitting a couple of potholes at the thought of 35 section sidewalls - not helped by realising the pressures are way out (too low) thanks to the supplying dealer. Hey ho.
