nothing needs changing mate, it's a straight swap. Speedo will be affected, but much negligible as long as you go for 225/40/18 tyres, which keeps "almost" the same overall diameter of the wheel + tyre compared to 45/16.

I must admit after seeing your Escos with Ts I really want some on mine now dont really like Rondells

Plus the colour of my car is red not that keen on the colour so i thought if i change the wheels it would take my mind off it
