Maybe someone can help me answer a question i have. I have Googled i have searched but i can still not get a definite answer whatever these rims/wheels will fit.

Its an Audi A3 wheel, that i want to have as an winter tire on my MY 2016 Leon ST FR
ET 46
Rim size: 8 J x 18
57,1
5/112

Tires is 225/40

From what i get the standard ET for 18'' is ET51 with a width of 7.5.
The difference in size compared to the smaller ET will make that +- 0

Is it that easy? and do you believe that it will fit?

Sorry for my bad English :rofl:

after you input your current setup and new setup it tells you all the information you need to know and the picture shows you whether it will poke out too much. It also tells you if it will rub on the spring

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.

Compared to standard 18'' wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 9.7mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 22.4mm more than before.

Compared to the cupra wheels 19''

this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 12mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 12mm more than before.


My winterwheels 18'' Audi S3 will be +1mm sticking out compared to cupra and im scared of that :lol:

Hi guys,quick question here! I've got a Leon 1.6TDI with 6.5 X 16 ET46 (205/55 tyres) factory fitted wheels and i want to replace them with 7.5 X 17 ET45 (225/45 tyres) wheels. According to the site given on the second message, it seems that i won't be having any trouble fitting them. But the 17" optional wheels from SEAT are 7 X 17 ET49 and 7.5 X17 ET51. Will this change affect the behavior of the car?
