Which offset to suit Cupra without fouling arches or brakes? (Pro Race 1.2's)

[Al]

Wheels will be on this weekend all going well

Going to order 1 F1 Assymetric and wear out the set before I change to something else. Not keen on mixing 225 and 235 on the car.

 

[DanGB]

staying with 225's for now now?

 

[chrisboyle999]

have you managed to find them and cheaper than THIS?

(they are the 225's)

 

[DanGB]

I couldnt beleive how cheap they were. there 120 at black circles IIRC.

No, and I think I will order one if the local garage cant do me a deal.

@ Dan - Yes mate. I dont see the point in mix matching. The F1's are good tyres, but when they are done, I think I will see how people with 235's get on with clearance before I change up to them.

 

[Carr20vt]

Think you can recommend/refer someone on camskill and get 5% disc?

Good price, this would depend on getting someone to fit these for you. I was getting them at £115 fitted but was £128 fitted the other day

 

[DanGB]

my local place was charging 5.99 plus VAT to fit a tyre to a wheel.

 

[Willie]

Thats very very cheap.
As long as they have good machines and guys your onto a winner.

Cheers guys,
I will soon go with Pro Race 1.2 White and Toyo Proxes R888.
I just want to let you know that the ET35 has been tested on Leon 1P, and it was not a Cupra.
If the car has a stiff enough suspension (Sport OEM, for instance), nothing will happen, no damage. I will keep you posted with my findings as soon as I will install/test the new wheels.

ET 45 with 4 x Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics, 225/40/18

Not sure that I like them so much on the Leon, but I have noticed a difference on the performance of the car - seems sharper now than before. If they did a similar weighted 5 spoke wheel I would have preferred it.

I got a slight bit of scuffage in the inside of the wheel arch on a hard corner, therefore glad I did not go further than ET45 or wider than 225.

This is what it looked like with black OEM wheels for comparison.

 

[Willie]

Very nice bud, like these better than the OEM ones. You made the right move going for solid black ones, nice to hear your betting a better feel with these, will be even more of a beast now

 

[Al]

Cheers Wil. Need to get some black bolt covers ordered to match them now

 

[MUFFIN]

They look champion Al - I'm likin' these a lot..
I popped into a shop this week and run my paws over a set identical to yours, they look great, I'm thinkin' bout gettin' the red rims tho - copyin' the look of REVO Martyn's motor, goes well with the white!

I think the red would suit your white car more, for sure. I like Martyns car a lot.

The red stripe would be too much on my car though I think - too much red.

 

[Carr20vt]

Looks great Allen. The bolt covers are only 10p each.

Very nice look ... What kind of alloys are these ...??? They might be lighter than the OEM ones...???
