    Has anyone tried a spare wheel on a mk7.5 and it hasnt noticed their is no presure sensor in the wheel? I get the feeling it will be sound to just fit 4 new alloys without them

    Error message will appear, take all of 5 mins each wheel for garage to swap over sensors

    Plus as they are 205 compared to 195 on my 15 will i need spacer? Or they will fit fine?

    No spacers required and same answer as before :p

    A steering rack limiter can be fitted for a few quid but not essential
