lowered and bigger wheels??

[Benzy]

hi guys, just looking to see what your combination of lowering springs and wheel sizes are. im getting some new alloys and want to know what size i can get away with when i lower it. thanks

A lot of people go for the sportline springs which drop around 50mm at the front and 35mm at the rear I think. Paired with 18 inch wheels. You can still fit a lot of the aftermarket big brake kits under 18's and the tyre prices make for a good saving over 19's. If you want size and money is no object then lowered on 19's is possible. ride qaulity debatable

Yeah I'd say the best all round option is 18's and as mentioned the Sportline's give the Leon 1P a pretty much perfect stance.

I got mine from the man above

Also got mine from Damian @ DPM and am lowered on 19's.

just ordered the springs, now just need some nice looking 18' black alloys

do and of you guys have any problems with rubbing on the inside wall of the tyre due to the change in camber? been warned by a mechanic who lives over the road that the inside wall will rub and will only last a few thousand miles :S

got 18"s on the cupra and lowerd with sportline's and ther is no rubbing atol

 

[Benzy]

hmmm....no idea then, he seemed positive that there would b. all well ill give it a shot. im guessing i will need to get my camber re adjusted once iv lowered it anyway right?

I had on my Leon 1P 1.6 petrol 19" wheels with 225/35 tyres and all was O.K. The car was lowered -50/-35 Eibach springs, chassis SPORT Up. My idea to give 20" on my new Cupra R... The wheels create car !!!
