Hey all,

New to the forum and new to the Leon 😊

Petrolhead all my life, finally could afford a car, decided on a 2018 Seat Leon SC FR 1.4TSI. I'm in love!

I'm now starting to scratch an itch that I have in terms of little mods here and there. First thing I'm looking at is some wheel spacers 👀 Just looking to get some information as it's the first time I'll be going down this route.

I have 18" OEM wheels. Not sure of the name but they seem common enough. I'd like the spacers to bring the wheels out as much as possible without causing any hindrance such as rubbing/scraping or needing to bend panels etc.

I don't want to cheap out and get problematic ones, but if I can save a buck and not need to get the latest and greatest, that would be great.

Side note then, if you have any other suggestions for small cheap beginner mods, that would be great 😊 looking at doing the mist windscreen washer and upgrading the mirror indicators to the dynamic ones. Bigger plans down the road to get the Seat Sport Aero Bumper etc.

The OEM Pretoria rims have the same width/offset as the standard Cupra rims:

8J and ET50.
