hi i am looking to change my 17" wheels on my audi a1 2015 s line for 16" ones 215/45/16 with the same p c d of 5x100 will they fit ?? and will they put my speedo out of sink ?? i cannot find audi ones in good condition and at a good price so i thought to ask if this can be done . thank you for any help  cheers

Yep they should fit. Best way of checking if you're in a position to is trial fit one before you buy them.

The all important consideration is the ‘rolling diameter’. 
You don’t tell us the tyre sizes of your current 17 inch wheels. 
Please let us have that information so we can offer you best advice. 
Regards,

Gareth.

If I may expand upon Magnet's reply, he means that if you change to 1 inch smaller wheels you need to fit 1 inch larger tyres in order to leave the overall gear ratios unchanged.

But that is not all. The amount that the wheels are offset from the hub (or dished) also needs to be unchanged in order to avoid the tyres hitting the suspension and bodywork. That's why I can not be certain Ibiza wheels will fit. Probably they will, but I'd want certainty before spending money on them.
