I assure you that the ball joints were not made to take the loads of 19" wheels. I'm a steering systems engineer for zf, I've spent years designing and developing tie rods, ball joints, steering gears. I know the technical specification of the zf lemforder oe equipment in the Leon's and they are not suitable for 19/20" wheels, just because you have seen it does make it right.

Why do you think the tie rod design changes with wheel size? It's not just for fun, it take months to establish the correct tie rod diameter, obj housing offset and positioning etc.


Please post more. Seriously.

so as long as you don't get a rep and get proper wheels which are normally lighter than standard alloys.. you should be ok.. had mine for 2 years now.. no issues

The are OZ Superleggeras. They were expensive, but worth it. Lighter than the standard 18s.

Good news is I am selling them though! Time to change the car. Drop me a PM if anyone wants them...

19's look ace but I'm a bit boring and like my comfort, I went from 19 to 17 on my old TT and it felt like a go kart.... A slow barge like go kart
