I've got a B5.5 Trendline 1.9tdi saloon on a 54 plate but the wheels are clearly not origonal. What size, type of wheel and tyre were fitted to these cars?
The reason for asking is I have 4 X 10 spoke with 225/45/17 tyres on them. Nice enough wheels but I'm having a few problems with fuel efficiency since taking off my winter wheels. They came off an A4 and are 205/55/16 with winter rubber on them. Since changing back I'm struggling around 40mpg on the 17's whereas i was getting close to 50mpg on the 16's.
My 17's look like these but without the centres:
