What alloy wheels?

Right There's a set of 14" Sao Paulos on the 1.4 TDi Twist, and eventually I want to change them.

Just wondering what are the exact fitment sizes?

I have some 17" 5x100 alloys from a seat Leon I think might bolt straight on since they used to be on my ibiza. Is this right?

And If I dont go down the 17" route (I'm thinking of 15's with coilovers) then what wheels would fit? Most suitable offset, and what dimension tyres etc etc.
Thanks,

Richie Lee

17's and 5x100 will fit, what offset are they - ideally no lower than 30!

and 205x40x17 tyres are recommended by me, although 215x35s fit as well

I've got 205/45/17 tyres on them I think. Offset isn't lower than 30, I think it's in the region of 45, but dont quote me on that!

Is your car on 17s then or 16s? I'm thinking that it would probably rub if I lowered them on 17s which is why I'd like 15s.

17s with zero rubbing.

you should be fine with those wheels and the profile isn't too far out.
