Fiiting older rims on newer model
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2019 5:30 pm
Happy New Year All,
I was thinking of buying winter tyres as I live out in the wilds, and by coincidence my neighbour has just sold his 2010 5 door 1.5dci N-Tec Qashqai. Sitting in his garage are a set of Nokian WR G2 "Sport Utility" "All Weather Plus" low temperature tyres; 215/60 R17 100V XL M+S, attached to a nice set of Enzo alloy wheels. My Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Xtronic 1197 petrol is fitted with continental tyres, 215/55 R18 99V.
Despite much research and speaking to Nissan (mmm should be OK!,) I can't find a definitive answer that my neighbours' wheels and tyres will fit my Qashqai. Some views are positive and still others negative, and the whole process has left me confused.
Does anyone have any practical knowledge or experience of matching these models, and/or of fitting new rims.
Any advice would be much appreciated
