Golf R Caidz 18's on Leon ST

Hi, I'm new to forum as i'm thinking of changing my GLA45 for a Leon ST R300

I've currently got a spare set of Golf R Cadiz style wheels with winter tyres on, just wanted to know will they fit the R300 as it looks to me like it has bigger brakes than the Golf?
Wheel specs:
  • 7.5J Width
  • ET49
  • PCD 5x112
  • Centre Bore 57.1mm
Also what is the size of the R300's front discs?

Thanks, look forward to hopefully getting one and being on here more often

i thought all vags had the same wheel PCD?:unsure:
The majority of VAG models do have a PCD of 5x112 but there are exceptions - e.g. the segment below the Leon/Golf/A3/Octavia (the Ibiza, Polo etc.) has a PCD of 5x100, as does the small SUV segment (Arona, T-Cross etc.). For the city car segment (Mii, up!, Citigo) it’s also a pitch circle diameter of 100mm, but it’s a four bolt fitment, so 4x100.

its not the pcd i'm really concerned about, its more because of the bigger discs and calipers the r300 has over the other leons/golf R.

has anyone tried fitting 18's on one?

I've just fitted Dezent TZ 18x7.5J 5x112 57.1 bore, ET51

They work a treat and hugely improve things over rough B Roads, to the point I can now relax a little whilst making progress, rather than have to avoid every single road imperfection!!

Fitted Vector All Season G3 which are proving a good tyre.

Is this on the standard Cupra (340mm brake set up) or the Brembo (370mm) fitted to certain specifications such as the R?
