Hi everyone, has anyone fitted 18x8J ET30 wheels on the rear and 18x8J ET42 wheels on the front of a Mk3 Seat Leon FR?


I have a 2014 Leon Mk3 FR on standard suspension and I’m wondering if the ET30 wheels will fit on the rear without rubbing or sticking out too far past the arches.


I’m planning to run 225/40/R18 tyres all around. I didn’t realise 2 of the wheels I bought were et30 until I thought them home, so I have 3 et42 and 2 et30😬

Some photos below of one of the ET30 ones fitted with a 245/50 tyre as I wanted to see how far it sticks out, I obviously didn’t drive on it like this


Has anyone run this setup, or something similar? Any advice on clearance, rubbing, or whether they’ll sit okay would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
