New wheels for 184 TDI

[Tomevans1000]

Hello there I am looking now to replace the alloys I’ve currently got on my 2015 Seat Leon FR 184 TDI they are currently 17inch. I have heard good things about the springs and shocks so hoping not to have to change anything there to improve fitment. I was wondering if anyone had any examples of this being done and any suggestions on whether it is a good idea, I also have read somewhere the 184 sits 10mm lower already( could be wrong) and was wondering if this had any affect on things.

Thanks any advice is helpful.

I also have read somewhere the 184 sits 10mm lower already( could be wrong)

The running gear components of FRs are different (shorter & stiffer springs, thicker anti-roll bars etc), as their chassis is called "sports" while the other trims have "standard" one.

The 10mm lower stance comes from this difference, not from being a 184.
