Does anyone know anything about wheels, sizes, tyres, etc....
This is not the usual what size Alloys can I use, etc... well supose it is sort of the same.
What I want to do is buy a cheap set of 4 Wheels and "Snow"/winter tyres, that I can simply keep in the garage and fit to the Captiva when the weather turns nasty.
I'm not intersted in fancy Alloys, I'm quite happy to have steel wheels for the time they will get used, but I cant find any. All searches take me back to expensive Alloys, and then the price becomes silly.
So at the moment, I have the LTX, which has 18" Alloys, with 235 R18 55 on them. So what sizes wheels can I go for, and what size "snow" tyres, as there doesnt seem to be many options on 4WD tyres on the Captiva 18" rims.
I dont want to get into the spacer, and this and that issue. I simply want to be able to swap them over when the weather changes for the worse. I know that wheel sizes have insurance and road saftey implications, as well as speedo reading, that is why I want to stay as close to the size I have now. Unless someone can educate me on compatible wheel sizes.
Hope that makes some sort of sense.... Cheers.
