Even crappy ones fetch a good price second hand! And don't forget to add on the price of a new tyre if it needs it too.

How long ago did you buy your car? No chance of going back and kicking some ass until they agree to buy you a spare wheel?

iv had the car about 4 months. i could speak to the garage, but im really not sure its worth the hassel, its my fault as much as theres, i didnt check it.

do the wheels form a lower spec leon fit? cupra alloy or even a steel wheel? are the rolling radius' similar?

 

[RobM]

Rolling radius isn't the problem, it's the clearance of the Brembos that's the problem. The only 17" wheel that I know fits is the Audi S3 wheel. Everything else would need a stupid amount of spacers to get to fit, which isn't practical on a spare wheel as it would mean carrying longer bolts too.

 

[lofer]

You will need a decent size wheel to get over the brembos !!! I guess this is why seat supplied them with a full size one.

 

[Deleted member 16792]

didnt think of that!

how about over the rear brakes? i can alwas swap wheels around if need be.
probably just be eaiser to get the rignt wheel.

 

[RobM]

Rear brakes will be fine as they are so much smaller. If you're going down that route, have a look out for the 17" version of the LCR wheel that came fitted to the FR+, as at least that looks similar in style

 

[Big_daddy]

so will the spare space saver wheel he has fit on to brembo brake set up?

 

[lofer]

Its a 4 stud

 

[olaf]

Big Lad - No

 

[Deleted member 16792]

ok people, thanks for your help as ever. i'll get something sorted.

 

[ElasticTangent]

I guess short term solution would be a can of tyre weld.

Not ideal and certainly not ideal for a run to Le Mans but it would probably get you to the nearest tyre dealer.
