frankval Posted Monday at 10:48 PM Posted Monday at 10:48 PM 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
Steve Q Posted Tuesday at 04:01 PM Posted Tuesday at 04:01 PM Yep they should fit. Best way of checking if you're in a position to is trial fit one before you buy them.
Magnet Posted Tuesday at 05:40 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:40 PM 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.
frankval Posted 23 hours ago Author Posted 23 hours ago yes sorry i did not include size it is 215/40z/r17 i have been told there are a few other wheels and makes that can be fitted that will not effect my speedo ?? is this correct , thank you cheers
cliffcoggin Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago 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. 1
frankval Posted 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours ago so if i get audi a1 wheels with same p c d of 5x100, what tyre size that you can recommend that i can fit to maintain correct speedo reading thank you for any help cheers
Magnet Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Thanks Frank, Have you worked out the economics of buying different size wheels and then appropriate tyres vs. having your current wheels refurbished?
frankval Posted 23 minutes ago Author Posted 23 minutes ago it is not because my wheels are damaged , i just want to change them to 16" ones to get a better softer ride , 17" low profile ones give you a harsh ride , spoils the fun of the audi a1
