Mottie, I have 2 questions...
Context: I have winter tyres 225/50/17 and front fit (= 'kin expensive) chains to go with them. Off my previous car. For going to the alps in winter.
I now have a new car with 18 inch wheels. Grrr.
1. Can I buy 17" steel wheels, fit my tyres and stick them on my new contract hire Volvo? Will it work, is it legal?
2. How do I buy 4 used rims off ebay and be sure my tyres will fit; and know they will fit on the hubs?
The alternative is to shell out £600 on new tyres and chains. Maybe £750.
Cheers.
