RS6 19 inches on a 52 plate cupra

[stevie steve]

Looking at putting a set of 19 inch RS6 alloys on my 52 plate cupra.

Thay have come from a VW Golf MK4, will these fit without any modifications etc.

Also will I need the speedo recalibrated and is it easy to get cetre caps for them, dont really wasnt the dub ones on there.

Anyone got a pic of RS6 alloys on a plat silver cupra. (specific I know)

If they have been on a Mk1V golf they should be fine.

Choose lower profile tyres to keep the rolling radius the same, plenty of 'calculators' on the web to establish this.

South west Tyres should be able to supply some plain black centre caps and get some vinyl SEAT logo's or something to go on them

W=Do you mean SWT in Clevedon, thats were I live, so that would be quite convinient

Cheers for that mate, lets hope I manage to get hold of them.

SWT = South West tyres

I realise it's where you live as I'm not a million miles away in Weston

cant re-calibrate your speedo
19s will put your speedo out no matter
you can only mimise the % out it reads by tyre choice

as mentionned there are tyre size calculators out there

We talking over or under, trying to work it out in my head, but it hurts lol.

You should be able to get close using skinny tyres try this calc

That tyre calculator's hours of fun

stock tyres: 145/25 R12

new tyres: 335/85 R23

speedo reads 60mph

actual speed 190mph
