Wikked mate! Iv just bought some of the same alloys for 150 with tyres. Refurbing them myself and stretching some low profile tyres on them and hoping to sell for a profit. How much did these cost you mate if you don't mind me asking?

Amazing mate!! I was really hoping someone would do this to a leon before i became to tempted!

Im gonna follow this i think

 

[Lodey23]

i paid a little more than you, but not much i cant believe how much room the rear arches have. Its a 10j rim and still i have a 10mm gap between the rear strut and tyre.

and i think its about time i started a readers ride since i have had the car two years and never bothered to start one

 

[drka-drka]

[asasprey]

Bmw x5 mate..

 

[Lodey23]

As said BMW X5 rims, 19x9j fronts and 19x10j rears

 

[big eck]

As said, been waiting on someone doing this lol. Can wait to see them on.

i still need to measure up what size adaptors i will need to fit the fronts, but i think its going to be a custom made job. Thanks for the comments, just deciding on a wheel colour, i am thinking of doing them a dark shade of silver. i cant wait to get them on either

thats what i was thinking,always wanted to fit these to mine but couldnt be bothered with the hassle of adaptors.im sure they will look spot on when they are refurbed and fitted

the rear wheel offset is et48 so need about a 25mm adaptor to bring the wheel away from the coilover, so will be running about et23, which sits pretty much flush with the arch, give or tske a couple of mm
