RS6's 18's Fitment and Style advice

[UncleFester]

Tyres are the right size, 5x100 is what you need and not 5x112 - i would ask the seller if they're offering 2 physically different sets of RS6 replica wheels.

I picked mine up for a shade over £600 with Toyos ..... preference would be for Falken 452!

260 for alloys and 251 for tyres

just have to get the buggers fitted then

got mine on sat morning they look the dogs danglies
will post pic later

 

[thebeno]

Good lad, while the wheel are off might as well get those Porsche brakes fitted too.

 

[Cowie]

nice one....they do clear the wheels tho do they

 

[thebeno]

Hope so, been looking at a set on fleebay.

 

[Cowie]

would double check mate cos i know the LCR lads can't fit the RS6's because of their brembo's

 

[thebeno]

Oh really? Pants, that idea out the window, may just paint mine then

 

[Cowie]

like i said mate double check but i'd have thought the porsche brakes were chunkier than the brembo's think some of the lads have had them put on,not sure what wheels they have on tho

have had brake paint for ages think will get it done soon now got the new wheels on

 

[thebeno]

I know someone had Porsche 6 pots but he may have had 19's

 

[RikH]

probably put spacers on to clear the calipers

 

[thebeno]

Oh right.

 

[RikH]

if your determined to get porsche brakes then the rs6's might not be best for you
if not, they will go over with absolutely no bother

 

[thebeno]

What about Brembo's will they squeeze under?

 

[thebeno]

£525 delivered. Bloody good job!!

Thats what shopping around does!!

 

[RikH]

brembo's wont fit under rs6 replica's
not without spacers iirc

thats why there are no lcr's with rs6's on

 

[thebeno]

Oh ok, so either spacers or just uprated discs / pads. Will research properly if I commit.

 

[RikH]

i have rs6's over standard brakes, the 312mm set-up on the LC petrol is really good as standard (why alot of ibiza people uprate to it). Ive just invested in goodridge lines, ferodo ds2500 pads, ebc drilled and grooved discs and decent fluid to boost the front.

your a derv so your fronts are smaller, 288 i think

common conception that this set-up is great from research i did on leons with these things on this site.

 

[thebeno]

Cool, how much will that set you back? Just the front?

The rear calipers are quite small on the TDI, would love to upgrade those slightly.

I had RS6's on my LCR 2+ years ago

But I did need 10mm Forge spacers

For the centre caps the wheels I got had plain black caps, I got the vinyl store to make me some mirror finish silver Seat S logo's for a couple of quid and fitted them on the black centre caps et voila
