Which alloys are these?!

[iwcham1979]

Hi guys, Is there a list or pics of all the 17 alloy wheels for Altea/Leon. I saw some stock 17 wheels i want to buy, but they are obviously very rare since i couldn't find one Altea/Leon on the net with such alloys. I wanted to post a pic here but i dont ahve the permission

Tnx Martin

The ones i can buy are like these but are mint condition... Its strange i couldnt see a Leon/Altea having them. They are 5x112, 17 inch, so they must be for Leon or Altea?!

 

[Martin_DSG]

personally ive never seen them before and i doubt they are standard on anything less then a cupra.
oh and they are foookin luuuvley, shame there not in black.

Ok, tnh, i needed a confirmation regarding the looks most of all

Those are off a Seat Alhambra. Go here and select the Alhambra (which is the extreme right hand side model) and it shows you them.

Edit: Part number is 7M7 601 025 b

Hmm yup, ur right. Guess it would be kinda stupid to mount alloys off an Alhambra onto an Altea...thoug the alloys are not ugly...?!

 

[iwcham1979]

Do you think that the car will be noticably stiffer with 17 inch wheels instead of 16 inch. If that's so, i don't feel like risking confort for the sake of appearence?!

 

[iwcham1979]

The stock 17 wheels for Altea have wheel offset 54! Now, the alloys I consider buying have offset 45 CAn I go for them? (also, plz answer my question regarding the car behaviour on bumpy roads with 17 wheels?! If they would overwhelm the chasis, i would rather go for some aftermarket 16 wheels.) Tnx

My original Zenit Altea wheel were 7x17 ET54. I now use 8x18 ET45

thats 4mm LESS on the inside of the wheel arch and an extra 22mm on the outside.

this is my front wheel view:

you should be ok with a ET45 depending on Wheel Width compaired to you original wheel width. its not just the offset. have a look here:

[iwcham1979]

Ok, tnx Toxic. A bit clearer now. 7 in 7x17 means that the wheel width is 7? ET 45 meaning your wheels are more on the outside than stock But does it not scrach the body of the car when it's loaded?

 

[Toxic]

usually 7" I think for the Altea.

 

[iwcham1979]

What about the chasis when u have two passengers in the back and the trunk loaded? Don't the alloys touch the wheel arches then?

 

[Toxic]

ET45 with a 8" wheel is just about the max for the Altea. any larger width or lower Offset you will see rubbing if the altea is lowered with weight or lowering springs unless you have it setup correctly. if you have standard shocks you will be ok.

 

[iwcham1979]

A bit clearer now. Thanks a lot

 

[iwcham1979]

Can 7.5 x 17 Audi wheels which have ET 35 be mounted guys?! I am on stock springs, shocks and all!

 

[Toxic]

what were your original wheels?
