umm it depends, i'm not quite sure whether what MZ said means the bore is too small or too big.
It's a little bit over my head this one sorry

We have a subaru and tried the wheels on my 9n and the bore was the only thing that was wrong and my car is too low to go thro the hassle to get spacers and longer wheel bolts etc etc

Don't the SEAT Leon ones look a bit like those? Cupra ones. Might be 18s though!

yeah but they are at least 18's.
i might just lower it -50 with standard alloys for now.
might look ok for a bit
anyone got a pic of about -50 with standard sport alloys?
cheers
