Hi Dave thank you for your reply.
I'm looking at a set of cheap wheels probably on the same well known auction site and will get tyres once the wheels are purchased I was just a little concerned about buying something that has the wrong offset etc and therefore wasting money. You have answered my first question 18's will cleat the brakes etc. Would you know if 18's from say a 2007 to 14 model would fit? Oh and I also love Vredestien wintrac's been using them on my audi allroad for years .
Cheers Peter
