I have Fabia 1.9sdi with stock 14`` steel rims  and 185/60 tyres. I am satisfied with my car, escpecially with fuel consumption. But i was thinking about alloys upgrade, i was thnking about second hand 14`` Sprint model. I like that model very much, i have tyres for them too but i can't find them right now.

Few days ago i stumbled upon Fabia 2 alloys. Avior model, these are 15x6 with same ET (43) like mine. tyres would be 195/50  R15.

What do you think about upgrade from 14`` to 15``, will it affect fuel consumption and how much ?

14" to 15" will be fine. You won't notice any difference in fuel consumption really.

I went from 14" to 16" only last car and it was fine. It was only a 1.4 petrol and still drove fine. I wouldn't go bigger than 16" on a small engine. So your 1.9sdi should be fine.

Thanks Matt.

Is there someone here who tried 15" with sdi?
