Wheels and tyres

[James90RS]

Guys,

I had a search but couldn't find the answer I was after...

I'm looking into getting some 18s on my Leon (mk1 TDi 54 plate)

What is the best wheel size and offset to go for? Possibly 8x18? ET??

What tyre size is best? 225/40/18? How will this affect the speedo?

I'm quite liking the look of these: http://www.alloywheels.com/product.asp?P_ID=1566&V_ID=27094&strPageHistory=search&strKeywords=5x100 et30,5x100 et33,5x100 et35,5x100 et37,5x100 et38,5x100 et40,5x100 et42,5x100 et45,5x100/57-1 et35,5x100/57-1 et38,5x100/57-1 et40,5x100/57-1 et42,5x100/57-1 et45&numPageStartPosition=81&strSearchCriteria=any&PT_ID=all&Make=Seat&Model=Leon&strSize=18"&searchSize=18"&strSort=Low

Also what sort of wheel bolts would I need to buy? What locking nuts/bolts are any good?
Many thanks,
James.

To work out the differences (and therefore the % it effects your speedo) , try this link : http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp As for best tyres, its a mindfield.

5x100 et35 is correct leon spec

225/40/18 tyres

gsd3s or eagle f1s, or falken 452s for tyres

youll need to lower the tdi if fitting 18s though as itll look tractor like and handle like on also...
