Sorry to hijack you thread, but a similar question of my own.

I have one of the early AGU GTi Turbos, but it has the 15" 5 spoke alloys on it. I have been looking at some 17" ones from an Audi TT (225/45/17) which i believe will go straight on, but will it affect the speedo with the 2" increase in size? or would i need to specify some specific tyres to balance it out? Any advice would be greatfully received
