After market alloys

[Laura tate]

Can anyone help ? I have a a1 with 18" rims , I'm looking to buy a second smaller set with winter tyres but am unsure which ones will fit . I have seen a set of Wolfrace Asia Tec 16" Alloy Wheels (Triad?) With Profil M+S Winter Tyres 225/55/R16 , does anyone know if thease will go on my a1 , thanks

Hi Laura...welcome to the Forum

At a rough guess without knowing the dimensions of your 18" rims and tyres I would imagine that coming down from 18" to 16" (even with a large profile tyre) there should still be room under the wheel arches. 

The best bet would be to try one on the car before you buy and see if the wheels turn lock to lock without scrubbing against any bodywork.

Let us know how you get on with it
