Morning all, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice and a link on some hub centric wheel spacers for a 2017 st 300, what mm should I put on the front and what I should put on the back wheels. Obviously I would also need to purchase longer wheel bolts etc. Also the car has had a stage 1 remap and I was thinking about getting the revo carbon series intake system, does anyone know if this is a loud induction or only on hard acceleration. Many thanks.

Hey, i have some Ecs Tuning wheel spacers on my cupra and i've never felt a difference in ride quality or comfort.
Here is the link: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/gti-flush-kit-black-bolts/flushkt/

Cheers for the link carbajal, I didn’t want them for ride quality I just want them for the stance of the car really to push the alloys out. I take it you put the 15mm on the front and the 20mm on the back, you got any pictures of them on your ride. They will be going on a st 300.

[ukoldschool]

Be careful if you lower the car.... I have 11mm on mine f&b and both fronts caught the lip of the front wings, and a tab got stuck and shredded the front tyre...

Just for my info (as I am messing around with ride hight at the moment, what did you do to stop them catching the lip.

Quick question since you all got experience with wheel fitments. Would 19x8,5 et45 fit cupra 300 with performance pack?

 

[Deleted member 103408]

Check out https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.p...2=35&wheel_size=19&wheel_width=8-5&offset2=45, if i have your current setup correct then it shows

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 1.3mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 11.4mm more than before.

Based on ukoldschool if you are going to lower that will cause you problems, not sure how wide you can go with Stock ride hight.

You guessed correctly for the current setup.
On the stock wheels I ran 11mm spacers in front and 15mm in back with eibach pro kit.
So I’m guessing 11mm all around would be okay if I’m understanding this the right way.

It did rub occasionally on the back but when i swithed to 11mm it was fine.
What is also bothering me do I need to look for specific wheels for the performance pack or pretty much all in the similar spec to stock will fit.
Also thank you for the link above and your effort!

You are very welcome re links, saved me a very expensive error when somebody shared it with me.

Afraid I don't know about the performance pack so cant answer that question hopefully somebody else can
