Leon FR TDI and BBS CH

[stokeballoon]

I am to take delivery of my long awaited Luna Grey FR in 2 weeks, and i am looking at fitting some BBS CH wheels. Now i know the original wheel is 5 x 112 and ET54, but i have found these

Will they fit? What will be the outcome, slightly wider track, or more narrow? I understand about offset, well ish, but not sure what effect the figures will have on the the track.

According the the BBS website they should fit; you need the CH025 8x18: try this link:

And then click on "selection by car" and select Leon 1P

YAY !

That is probably the longest wait anyone has ever had!

Prepare for a long wait if you decide on them.

Been waiting weeks for my 8x19" ET50 BBS CHs to arrive. Being made to order by the BBS factory

Give Warren @ MSTuning a ring for prices

Edit - Just to add they arent CHs in that ebay link, they are CO. Same wheel as on the Golf Mk5 Edition30

What is the best way to tell the difference? they are very similar wheels, as far as i can see the CH have writing around the inner ring, any other differences i should know about?

Not sure, but thats what I was using to tell the difference. The writing says "Motorsport" I think. The COs are "flater" around this area also where as the CHs have a "dish" effect in the area of the stud holes.
Not a great explaination but best I could think of.

Quick question for anyone that has 8*18" BBS CH's on their Leon 1P,

What is the exact part number and offset etc of the wheels as I dont want to order the wrong ones.

Cheers.

I've CK's but can check ET etc hwen I get home if you'd like

 

[FR Ste]

Cheers Nick, that would be great!

It looks like the offset is 44 on mine - and obviously 5x112

 

[FR Ste]

Thanks.

Any idea how that compares to the offset of the optional Seat 18" wheels?

 

[S2TTB]

so what sorta offset should we be running for 19 x 8's ? also, a lot of places are saying 235 tyres which seems pretty wide to me.... (i had 215s on my old car 19s...saying that they were only 7inch wide)

[ktulumike]

Voila....black BBS CH 18's on a Luna Grey FR

 

[NickP]

No - standard springs

 

[FR Ste]

Hey ktulumike, they look fantastic! Just to confirm, what was the offset of the 8*18 wheels? Cheers

CKs are ET44. CHs come in ET50. Here is mine with CKs on:
