any chance to make these fit:

Front wheels are 19" by 8.5" 235/35 . Offset ET35

Back wheels are 19" by 10" and have 265/30 Offset ET20

bit of a long shot really

first i'll need adaptors to make them 5x100
second would 10" be too wide
also after fitting adaptors and only et20 any chance?

Good luck lol!! you may stand half a chance if you use four fronts or a replica set on 225 35 19's.

I say go for it - saw this at VWNW in 2005 and thought it looked superb (Genuine BMW alloys, they had the name and logo cast into them)

Yep its possible but like most things it just depends on how much effort you want to go too :shrug:

Firstly you would need a set of replica wheels which are 8" wide all round the original 10" rears are way too wide and a really low offset (et20 I think), then you would have to get a hub adaptor made to convert the 5x100 Leon PCD to a 5x120 BMW PCD. The thing that would work in you favour is the BMW replica wheels are usually et40, so that give you about 10mm to play with for the adaptors before the wheel would start to catch the wheel arch.

I say give it a go,thats what modding is all about, you certainly wouldnt see another Leon with them on. Unless it looks really good and we will all be asking how too do it :)

Theres a picture of a golf at one of the shows last year with M3 wheels on her. The mags a few months old i think, was a grey ish looking car. Looked very nice to be honest. As said you would need two sets of fronts as the backs would be tooooo wide (unless you put some arch spats etc on)
