who said you cant go euro on a cupra

I wouldnt grind calipers myself, but Ive heard of a few doing it. No idea on safety of it, but I wouldnt think it would be that bad if your only taking a small bit off.
Really not worth doing to fit wheels that are too small though. If you'd got at least 17s you probably wouldnt have had a problem with calipers lol.

I pointed out that why would you risk doing this and go to the trouble of this for the outcome...


People's comments of it will be good when lowered need to understand that to get it to a ride hight to get this to look even nearly good is going to turn this into the first seat Leon statue and will be undriveable...it's just not going to work... Air ride will make it look ok once parked but you have the same problem when driving the car..

It's a fail end of... (due to wheel and tyre size not wheel style)

^ exactly

You ground your brake disks to fit tiny wheels ? you could have at least got some spacers how ****ing dangerous is that...

good wheels but don't suit this car unless they were 17-18's

 

[M20FES]

for me it doesnt work.

Good to see something different though as all good ideas started from "someone doing it first"

 

[griff82]

Wtf is 'going euro'

And the car looks like its on roller skate wheels

it does look gash

Calipers,not brake discs

Calipers,not brake discs

that's even worse , m.o.t failure and dangerous to drive, brake callipers could possibly crack / shatter under load

 

[n1ff]

I'm guessing either the coilovers weren't fitted or it didn't work?

Updated pictures

tell you what people are acting like ive cut half my caliper off ...... just to let you guys know ive only shaved off about a milimetre in two places that you can see directly at through the wheel..... 1 - top right corner..... 2 - bottom right corner

if you got anything rude to say ...... say it to your parents or whatever... not on a forum

secondly new pics.... coilovers have been fitted and will be going hell of a lot lower then what it is now until i get a laguna splitter

I still stand by my 1st statement it looks **** the wheels are far to small your never ever going to be able to go low enough to get them in the arch the sump will be on the floor also you'r need a chassi notch you'r arb will be stuck on your drive shaft causing constant knocking

 

[Lambro6]

Why stretch rears but not the fronts, it's just so weird, haha.
Still think you should mod the arches if you insist on keeping these, haha.

 

[Brettyboy]

Sideskirts are on the floor now,how much lower do you intend to go ?

Agreed!

 

[Murdered LCR]

Even with air ride this still won't go low enough give up and admit defeat

 

[worzel]

Agree it looks like it's on roller skates...but think with bigger sidewall / wider tyres might be ok, maybe 195 or 205+ /60/16 just to fill those damn arches

 

[Murdered LCR]

With ballon tyres it will look ok poss but saying that huge tyres look crap

 

[worzel]

^^ make way for noddy

 

[drka-drka]

Omg get air!!! Have mine it would sit on its belly and the wheels would cum into the arch be like its floating.

I actually kinda like the wheels, but bigger

 

[worzel]

Joking aside I too like the rims, nice deep dish rears mmm
