Could you get 10" wide tyres on the rear?

I dissagree. I think it would be easy to fit.....but wether they would sit right and look good is a completely different story.

Adam - got any more pics of that red leon with the red rims? Looks awesome

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.

What offset where you 9.5" wide 17" rear wheels buddy?

 

[itfben]

I dont actually have brembos to clear as its a 1.6S Leon

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

Absolutely agree, i ran on 19x8.5j for about 6 months and now i have my OEM LCR allows back on and keep my BBS for the show days.
I found the bigger alloys very uncomfortable unless its just motorway driving.

Also peeps your ride height of the car will be higher so if you have coilovers you will need to adjust them and get tracking done again. In addition to this the engine has to turn these bigger wheels, you will be down power and your speedo will be wrong.

Apart from that i like big alloys and tyre stretch on a slammed LCR.

im just thinking it would be nice to drive the car round as it would look at the show.

The wheels are et25 witch 7mm spacers pushing them out, making it et18.
Just for your information, i run exactly the same wheel width on the front at et20.

my current pro race wheels are 8inch and i do have lots of space about the wheel before it would hit the arches.

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.

Does that not have any springs on the suspension? Just rods with no travel?
