Title: Wheel Swapping
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 01 December 2010, 13:33:03

I have 2 pairs of 15" GLS alloys (Different Design)

I also have 2 sets of the normal 16" Elite Mini Facelift rims.

Am I right in thinking the 15" rims will fit in place of the 16" Elite Rims.


Might get a set of these 15" tyres and put them on the spare 15" rims then they will fit either car for snow conditions.

Anyone tried or seen these in use?

I haven't seem them in action. Although they are limited to a maximum tyre width of 165, which may not fit any Omega. :(

I have just bought a pair of tyres chains for our regular trips to Scotland and have just been trying to ft them on a spare wheel, once you have done it once it is quite easy :y :y
