|  Fitting VRS wheel to a PD100 Thinking about getting some, I presume they fit straight on, but do they catch on the arches or leave the car looking like a monster truck? Any help / photos much appreciated.  Edit- will it mess up the speedo reading?

| Fabia vRS wheels (16") straight on no worries with the std 205/45 16 tyres. Ocativa vRS wheels (17") straight on no worres with 205/215 40 17 tyres but will look silly unless lowered.

TO give an idea, here's my car when I ran steels on the front due to a puncture and wanting a matching axle setup... Shows what effect an alloy wheel has on a car. Probably gives the best idea (oh, and they were VW 17s, not 16s, but you get the idea. )
