Rota grids on leon mk1

[Who's Lcr Rep]

Hi all, I recently purchased a mk1 leon fr tdi with Rota Grid Drifts 9.5J front and back and it has Brand new Nankang NS2 215/35/18 tyres. I have 20mm spacers all round and the car is lowered. I would like some advice from anyone that knows about the best way of fitting Rota grids or has fitted them on their leon because I recently was driving and I took this roundabout quite quickly and my front two tyres inflated because the seal broke. I would like to know which tyres i should go for because the current ones are stretched a lot. Thanks

itll be the retarded stretch that cause the tyre to go flat, just get some properly sized tyres fitted

See the problem is I went to a few garages to get some recommended tyre size but they say u can't go bigger because they will catch on the arch

Try running the tyres at a higher psi. What were you at?

To be honest I'm not sure I can text the guy that done them for me and see If he remembers. can I upload pics because I have recently joined the forums so I do not know how to upload pics

id get the car up abit and run proper tyres, if they are that stretched its ripping the sealing bead off the rim thats god dam dangerous

if you cant go any wider remove the 20mm spacers, I think something like a 245/35R18 should be on a 9.5j rim and even then i think would have a little stretch

i think it would be closer to 275.

Thanks for the reply's turboboy111 I think If I remove the spacers the wheel will rub against the shock absorber and I think the garage I took it to said currently there is only 5mm space between the wheel and the shock absorber with the 20mm spacers in there.

Applemobile what do u reckon 275? Are these are rare size to get?

 

[Applemobile]

They will look awful, and will definitely rub on your strut

I have just read a thread of one of the guys who has had these wheels on his but he had 5mm spacers on the front but none on the back it dont say what tyres he used
