Fitting smaller wheels - who is right?
I'd like to fit 16" wheels in place of 18". My local dealer says 16" OK with 205/55/16 tyres.
SKODA say don't go below 17"( something to do with calipers). Who's right?

Limousine-like amounts of rear legroom. Clever dual tailgate means it's both a hatch and a saloon. GreenLine model is very economical. A lot of car for the money.
