Leighton wheels quality & tyre sizes

[Calsonic]

Hi guys,

Contemplating some new 20" wheels for my T6 4Motion. Really like the looks of these ...

( I'm guessing going staggered is a bad idea on a 4motion though ?)

Can anyone comment on the durability of the finish over the course of say 9-12 months ? I have a sneaking suspicion that the matt finish will last longer than the gloss.
The machine finish looks most vulnerable. ( I have owned a Golf GTi / BMW M135i in the past and the whole laser / diamond cut finish was a major nuisance.
Despite looking after them they all suffered worming from small chips etc.) Hoping these LV-1 alloys don't suffer the same fate with regards to the finish.

I have to say that Leighton look like a very organised and professional outfit at this juncture.

Impressed with their social media game ! The marketing is exceptional. That young guy Adam is very comfortable in front of the camera. Kudos to his efforts

Thanks,
Cal

I don't think these wheels have been out on the market that long. I'm sure they were only released earlier this year.

I bought one of their T6 ABTs and it is awesome, love it but still wince at the price I paid, mind you, either I drive that or give it to the tax man so was no contest

 

[Calsonic]

Ah ok - I did not realise that. I wonder who manufacturers them on Leightons behalf ?

Life is too short - enjoy the ABT in these testing times ! The van of dreams

It was yes, Very happy with the price too, considering it's a premium tyre package also.

What size tyres did they fit and what width wheels, are they staggered ?

My understanding from the guys when they launched these, is that they are specifically not just a re-badged wheel style from a mainstream manufacturer. They are Leighton's own design and manufactured exclusively for them. So, getting hold of an 18" should be impossible unless Leighton decide to launch them.

 

[BognorMotors]

Yes, they are exclusive to @LeightonVans .

 

[nobbyq]

shame they don't do them in 18 , i had 19 on my last t6 and the ride was terrible ,hitting potholes nearly ejected my eyeballs , can only imagine 20 being the same or worse .

 

[BognorMotors]

Get some decent suspension which will sort all bu the worst of potholes

Hi, I have a LV T6 4 motion with Axe staggered wheels that has done 26000 miles and no issues.
Tyre size is crucial to 4x4 not width as far as I know. I had issues with front tyre width after installing Koni adjustables
I now run 245.45.20 on the front and 275.40.20 on the rear, which is a perfect radius match and can be checked with various tyre size sites online.
Makes a massive difference with lighter steering, turning circle and absolutely no rubbing. No tyre overhang on the front now either and the half second vague roll in the corners when the front tyre is moving on the rim is now gone.
Hopefully you can see the overhang of the tyre in picture 2
