smallest wheels on a fabia vrs

[hollinworth2006]

Hi does anyone know what are the smallest wheels that can fit on a fab vrs.

Have done a search but nothing.

Thanks Andy

I believe the smallest you can have is 16'' due to the brakes

I asked this last week. Fifteens should be OK - take a look here

Have 15 inch Audi A3 wheels (early version) on my VRS SE with winter tyres 185/60/15.

Almost certain though that 14" alloys (a la fabia elegance) will not go over the 288mm front brakes.

does anyone know if these will fit?

Thanks

They should fit fine.

As long as they are pre 2003 5x100pcd they will fit, 2003 on have 5x112pcd and would need adaptors.

www.mytyres.co.uk do Steel Wheels and Tyres fitted and balanced already to bolt on the car.

I emailed them the VRS car model information and the tyre size 205/45/16 and they have unfortunatley having supplier problems so have removed the VRS from the car selection.

Reading different posts on wheel size's for winter tyres, does any body know what rim on www.mytyres.co.uk web site will fit the VRS with say a narrow tyre 185 perhaps, will be cheaper and better in the snow I guess, if that's not possible a tyre and rim size closer to the VRS standard rim and tyre.

Not knowing this subject could you get a 15inch rim with a bigger tyre wall that will make up the over all outer diameter size of the tyre to be near as dam it the same as a 16inch rim with a small tyre wall, like standard.

Cheers

Try this tyre calculator - http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

For fifteens 185/55/15 would be ideal, but 195/50/15 should be close enough and tyres that size tend to be cheaper

Yeah these should fit as long as they're the 5x100 PCD, I had these on last year with no problems...

They were actually quite good looking wheels, even if they were green. IIRC I ran 195/50/15 Falkens...

In a recent ADAC (German AA) WINTER tyre test the Vredestein Snowtrac 3's came out best. mytyres.co.uk sell them. Be aware they are shipped from Germany so can take a few days to come.

On a 15" wheel you want a 195/55R15 profile tyre.

If you are going to lower your car or are lowered already i'd stay away from anything smaller than 16'' alloys due to the sump clearance!

[hollinworth2006]

thanks hopefully i will get some wheels tomorrow and some tyres on friday.

fingers crosses they will be better than the 205/45/16 gsd3's i have on at the moment.

185/60/15 Coninental TS800 wintercontacts on my VRS fit perfectly!
