Spacers, before and after

[LCR]

I have put 15mm on the back as 10mm on the front, been on a week, no issues, I think it looks great. Pictures don't do justice but there is quite a significant difference.

Looks good mate. Why don't people put same size spacers all round?

Because the front and rear axles are different. The rear is different on either side as well if I'm not mistaken.

do the origional wheel bolts fit ok ?

Is that a fact that the rear is different either side? I have 25mm on the rear and there is a noticeable difference either side! I initially thought the chassis was twisted! Will have to get them machined down to stick out the same!

lol why would they be different each side the car is symmetrical, i put 20mm all round on my LC (pictures in my sig) Seat made the cars track a certain width for a reason, that's why i used 20 mm all round not different front and rear.

I don't think mine are different each side, checked wheels bolts everynight for a week and not one bit of movement, definetly go for 'hub centric' though, universal are scary I think

I got spacers that came with bolts, they are a lot bigger mate

Front track on the leon is 19mm wider than rear, this is so the car has a more safety themed understeer setup for those who aren't good at driving
I have 10mm spacers on the rear to even this out, however the bigger the spacer the more load it applies on the wheel bearing

Always use longer bolts when installing spacers!

Looks good.. I also have bigger spacer on the back end.. 10 mm front, a must so the rotas clear the brembos and 20mm on the rear to give it a good stance from behind and goes without saying about increased bolt sizes.. If u used original on spacers, say 20mm.. The bolt has to travel that much further before it reaches the hub. I got bolts with my spacers. Thought that was standard practice

I had a look at your thread mate, your Leon looks amazing on the Rotas, maybe when u get your golf R you could donate the Rotas? Just a thought haha

Thanks A lot of people prefer the standard wheels and I'm a fan but the rota in gunmetal just makes it stand out. Looked great on my red lcr and even better on my black one. But when I do sell if the perspective buyer would rather the standard I'd happily do a swop

 

[LCR]

Yeah they're one of a few cars where the standard alloys are so hard to beat looks wise! Il keep a close eye when you sell mate, would love to buy them

I found 15mm all round best on my setup. Looks spot on imo
