exeo sport

[ray red altea]

Hi, can someone tell me the tyre size on the exeo sport 18 inch alloys also, can i fit a 16 inch alloy to this model with winter tyres that i currently have on my altea, do owners find the 18s affect mpg at all any advice most welcome. Am looking to buy a sport saloon soon, boot space ok?? thank you

Probably 225/40R18 Y 92 - I have the stock 18" alloys fitted to my non-Sport Exeo and that's what it uses.

225/40/R18 speed rating is up to you but Y is what mine came with from the dealers.
Factory fit seems to be Pirelle PZero Rossos which I felt were a tad noisy and gave a bit of tramlining after a few mm wear so I banged on some Continental sportcontact3's and they are a delight.

Can you fit 16's? Probably but your speedo, trip computer etc will be all to **** unless you reprogram it....better off just getting a set of winter rubber and getting your local fitters to swap them in and out at the appropriate times for a few quid.

I personally dont think the 18's have much impact on MPG...at least not as much as my heavy right foot does.

Boot space is fine. I can fit 4 large suitcases and sundry crap in mine...enough for 3 people (two of which are female) and 2 dogs to go on holiday for 10 days, or alternatively about 1.5 cubic meters of chopped wood for my wood burner. (I highly recommend getting the A4 B7 Boot liner for about £35...it fits perfectly, makes cleaning the boot a doddle and saves your boot carpet no end)

Whether 16" will fit or not depends on the brakes size. If you have the 170 TDI or the TSI they will not fit as the brakes are too big.
Check here for what size will fit, just enter your car details and it will tell you for sure.

The 16 inch wheels will fit the exeo as long as it is not a 170.
I have an Exeo Sport and the spare is a 16 inch steel with the same size tyres as the wifes' Altea.

I fitted a pair of steel 16's with winter tyres in December and made no difference to MPG or speedo (sat nav showed same speed with 18's & 16's at 60mph as on car speedo)

Hope that helps a bit

thank you all for such prompt replies and info ,it is very much appreciated

just to state the obvious, if 16`s are fitted, the tyre walls will be taller and will/should make the same rolling radias as the 18`s.

It is the offset that is also important otherwise you will foul the pad holders offset should be 45 [ same has yeti and superb]

I have the 170 se lux but the spare is 16 inch. Can anyone check if theirs is the same as I may have the wrong size spare.

 

[Larfinboy]

I have the 170ST on 18" and the spare is a full sized wheel but NOT 18".

Its not one of the poxy space savers either but is classified as a "space saver" due to not being the same size as the main wheels.

Apparently this normal/ok

 

[cuernos]

Just wanted to clarify as people are saying the 16 inch wheels won't fit. Mine is the same. Full size 16 with higher profile
tyre.

It seems that all Exeo's have 16" full size spare with 205/55 tyres and brakes are same size on all models Front 320mm & rear 288mm.

All worries solved.

My SELUX 170 has a 17 inch steel spare.

You need to fit yours and see. The problem will be with the frond brakes so you can move your tyres round so that the spare goes on the rear and you're fine.

The petrol engined Exeos all have 320s up front.

Only the 170ps diesel Exeo has 320s on the front. 120 & 143ps models have 288mm front discs.
