i honestly think you could get them to fit, but you need to investigate the distance from the outside lip to where it mounts to the hub, then you need to measure from your hub to the end on the wheel arch, tape a bit of weighted string to the bonnet and hang it over the arch ( wheel off) then measure from the hub face to the string,

then take the wheel measurement away from the car measurement, if the adapters are the measurement that is left your on to a win.

this is how i would do it with a cupra, on a cupra r you have to do all that but also have the caliper clearance to deal with too.

Where did you get yours b3lsy? Merseyspeed have the 19's for 600notes the id get falken tyres and bbs center caps.

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

From what ive been told id end up with around 10mm poke, but as you said might be better to get the wheel off and measure properly from the hub. did think adding camber would work but dont really want that

thats were i got mine 18's with bbs centres 495 got my own tyres,if you get 19's an lower it your need the arches rolled

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

Dont want to be rolling the arch, would it look ok just not lowering as much??

who said about the arches rolled?

ive ran 20s low and now 19s even lower than cars on air on here and its fine

What i wanted to hear dont want to risk cracked paint, plus the LMs are only 8.5 width so not too wide

if you measure an 8.5 rim it lill measure close to 9.5 as the 8.5 measurement is where the tyre sits,

i wouldnt go anymore than 8.5 on the front and 9.5 rear

 

[B3LSY]

mine are 8.5 front an rear with 16mm spacers all round
