I also agree the standard leon is a good looking car, thats why i dont want to tamper with it too much, but i just cant help but think teh back end looks liek it needs to be scraping the floor with some immpossiably wide wheels sneaking from under teh arches. But thats probably just me.

must admit lowering and adding just half an inch to tyre width makes the car very different from the rear. they sit level against the arch but make it look tucked in. phat

but 10"? id fear it would look to much. guy put a pic up of his golf with 20" alloys and it looked very wrong. your eyes were drawn to the wheels and nothing else. rollerskate was one of the comments.
im wondering if the same will happen from the rear.. will it look like lots of tyre and little else?
all just opinions and nothing wrong with being different. as long as its safe and you love it who cares.
be interesting to see what the overall effect looks like

i fully uinderstand about there bieng lots of wheel. But its only 18 inches. Im toying at the idea of 17's, but because of teh size of the arches. teh leon can litterally sit of the floor before teh wheel is even in teh arch. Which puts me off.
I know 10 inches sounds wide, it is, but its only a few inches wider than a standard cupra R wheel. Will have to see how it goes, it may be a very expensive mistake, or it may be teh best thing that has ever happened to my car. But thats what i love, nothing ventured nothing gained My son.
 
haha the bottom one has allready got a mag feature even tho its not completed yet its in Xquisite as we speak .. what wheels you thinking mate ??go 18s tey will look pimp
 
i got a set of wheels in mind. But as i wont have the money for a few months, i dont really want to say yet. But all will be revieled in time. But you probably will have forgoten about me by then lol.
 
if we are talking legal ages here dad, then your well into your 50`s:D

made my day[B)];)


im far younger than that :$ in fact, mon grande pere, im probably young enough to legaly date one of your daughters. Which i presume you have, hopefully around 16/17 or it makes my whole statement invalid.
 
ive done it. Ive serched for a whole week now. Either im doing something wrong or there is nothing about it.
The only stuff i can find about ten inch wide wheels is ''dont do it'' or ''why dont you get some rs4 rep's instead'' or ''doubt they will fit''
I cant find any real help, correct me if im wrong tho. The only car on here i can see that is claiming to run 10inch wide wheels is this guy (see pic below), And they are only 17's and IMO dont look 10 inch wide.

I cant find any help he got, he just seemed to get slated for bieng euro.


Thats my car and the rears are 10's with 9's on front my wheels are et14 and yes there are only 17"s but it lets me go as low as possible! besides its good to be different! I like the leon euro look it suits the car down to a tee......
 
awsome :D your car has been a great inspiration to me, there is very little amount of leon's on teh euro scene. Even in germany.
