Does anyone know if 7.5x17 rim with 215/40 tire is ok with MY-08 Cupra?

According to the local garage the standard 7x17 rim with 205/40 tire is already quite tight fit on the front (due inner wheel housing / brake cooling ducts).

The diameter of the new wheel is only 8mm larger than the stock, but I want to be sure before putting over 1k in new wheels.

The problem with the Cupra model (and the problem im hanving) is the gap between the caliper and the inner side of the wheel as there is minimal space and clearance would be an issue

Let us knw how you get on mate!!

It'll be even cheaper now that I don't need spacers. Think it'll cost me £37, me being 18 :D
