Hi All

 

Recently sold my L&K S2 estate and looking at getting a S3 Sportline Plus hatch. I still have the 16" steel wheels and winer tyres I used for a few years and am wondering if they will fit the S3? I'm sure I wont be that lucky but thought I'd ask.

 

Many thanks

 

thanks - looks useful but sadly I dont know enough about wheel and tyre specs to understand it.

 

I have 16" steel wheels and it APPEARS that the 2.0 TDI 190 needs a min of 16" wheels, so is that OK or are there other size differences? The Sportline Plus obviously will have 19" wheels as standard. If you could interpret it I'd be very grateful

 

Just checked and the tyres are 205/55 r16's, so it appears the tyres are the wrong size and I'd need 215/60 r16's if I read that correctly...

Yes, the wheels will fit fine but the tyres are not the correct size for a MK3

thanks - their fairly tatty looking steels now, so maybe time for some new alloys and tyres

 

In that case I may be selling my 19” SportLine alloys c/w Nokia’s winter tyres around September (which is when I will know if I’m ordering a VW ID.3

That's the size spare I have in my car.

I did think it's odd that it's classed as a full size spare.

Sorry for another numpty question, but will the 16" steel wheels I currently have with 205/55's take the larger 215/60 needed for my new car? I'm assuming that works if its only 10mm but I'm not up on wheel and tyre specs.

 

Thanks

Yes the wheels should be fine.

I may be interested as I’m planning to ditch my all-seasons and get some Mich PS4’s but I like the security of Winter tyres.

I would support that position. Ps4s now on the rear and spare wheels with Dunlop winters in the garage.
