Could you get 10" wide tyres on the rear?

i think it might be tricky. I had 10 inche rears on my skyline and they were a seriously wide wheel. i dont see how they would have fitted under cupra arches.

The amount of poke depends on the offset (i.e. how much of the 10" is in the barrel, and how much is the lip of the rim) But even still, at 10" you may have to get some body work done. If you can, offer them up first, and then you can see if pulling or rolling the arches is necessary. That will then determine if tweaking the rear bumper will be necessary. Failing that, have a search in peoples build threads and see what they are running. Im on standard LCR rims, so i cant help you any further. God luck!

I think these are 10's on the rear but I'm not 100% sure

I wouldn't like to say they'd fit with out arch mods but you have the high offset on your side so you could play about with spacers.

Its usually 35-38 on a leon then there spaced out.

I think all that goes out the window with 10" tho, you'd want as high ET as possible to get them in the arch.

really? hummm, whats the best way to find out if these will fit?

tbh im actually thinking that 19" would be better than 18" if im guna go to all the trouble to get the buggaz to fit.

Umm....either ask people who have 10's on the rears or try them I'd guess.

I personally wouldn't want 10" rears or 19" wheels on a every day driver but thats just my opinion......more for shows IMO :)

i have 9.5's on the back and i measured up and believe i could fit 12's if/when i desired. (17's)

Its more about the offset and tyre choice IMO.

no im talking about front, which will have an impact on the style of wheel and the offsets allowed or available.

theres surely an issue having 8s on the front sticking out to cover brembos and 10s on the rear, all the same offset?

I think you just have to try the wheels on before you buy mate. I still think its going to be tricky for you though.
