Hi Everyone......New on here so please bare with me. Sold my Vrs 6months ago for something more practical for the fishing tackle...now have Fabia Estate 1.9tdi Elegance..current tyres are 185/60/14 on stock alloys. I've been offered some Golf mk4 steel wheels with new tyres 175/80/14...does anyone know if these would be ok as winter wheels?? Grateful for any advice....thanks in advance

I have just worked out the difference on a tyre calculator Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tire Bible Page 2 of 2 and those new tyres will be way too big (58mm in diameter). This will give you a bit more ground clearance, but your speedo and odometer will be massively out.

There are plenty of winter or all-season tyres in 185/60, if not 175/65 14 would do.
