2020–present · crossover
The Formentor is a low-slung crossover on the same MQB Evo hardware as the Leon, with fairly wide 245-section factory tyres. The usual upgrade is a 20-inch wheel with a lower offset and a drop on springs or coilovers to close the arch gap. VZ5 owners start from 20 inches already and mostly change design rather than size.

Read these before choosing wheels for the Formentor: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
Described by an owner in the wheel trade as the ideal 20-inch fitment, run on 50 mm H&R lowering springs. LFI lists the same 9x20 ET35 square size with 245/35 R20 XL tyres. Check spoke clearance on VZ models with big brakes.
Owners report this fits well with roughly 30 to 35 mm of lowering on KW coilovers. One owner needed 2 mm spacers on one wheel design for brake clearance, and some run a 245/30 R20 tyre instead.
Run by an owner on KW V3 coilovers. Uses the VZ5 factory tyre size on a wheel 5 mm further out than the VZ5 factory offset.
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Upload a photo and start with a look that suits the Formentor. Try the wheels, colour and stance before you spend on parts.
An AI preview shows the look. It cannot verify physical fitment.
These tools start with the 1.5 TSI / 2.0 TSI / e-Hybrid, 18-inch front size. Choose your own trim or axle in the calculator if it differs.
5x112 with a 57.1 mm centre bore. It uses M14x1.5 wheel bolts tightened to 140 Nm.
8.5Jx20 ET40 with 255/35 R20 tyres on all four corners.
Yes. 9x20 ET35 with 245/35 R20 tyres is a common choice, usually paired with lowering springs or coilovers.
Both use 5x112 and a 57.1 mm bore, so they bolt on. Leon wheels have higher offsets (ET46 to ET49) and narrower factory tyres, so they sit further inside the Formentor's arches.
Factory tyre (tire) sizes for the 2020–present Cupra Formentor 1st gen (KM) are 245/45 R18, 245/40 R19 and 255/35 R20, depending on trim. Your tyre placard shows the size for your car.
57.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore need hub-centric rings sized to it.
140 Nm (about 103 lb-ft) for the original bolts. Confirm in your handbook, especially with aftermarket wheels or bolts.
This guide is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee. Specs can differ by market, trim and previous modifications. Confirm all sizes, clearances and fastener requirements with a qualified wheel and tyre professional before buying or fitting parts.
