If a VW car comes fitted with ...
(5 stud) 7J x 18" alloy rims, c/w 215/50 R18 92W (summer / all season?) tyres
... can I fit ...
(5 stud) Type 5N 103kW, 7.00 x 16 (LK 5/112, OS35) alloys, c/w 215/65/R16 98T winter tyres that are also designed to fit on a different VW?
Running the two tyre sizes through a comparison website https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/ , the winter tyres have 1.9% larger circumference, which AIUI would be acceptable in terms of speedo etc etc.
But I get very lost with the 7J and 5N designators etc. What other details do I need to find out?
TIA
