Do Vauxhall & Rover alloys fit VW?

Seen an aftermarket set of alloys advertised in the local rag. Am I correct in thinking that they are also PCD of 100? Is there any reason why these shouldn't fit e.g. ET ?

Cheers,
Andy

 

Yes I think they are the same PCD if they are 4 stud. Offset is the only real thing you need to worry about.

 

early BMW E30 wheels fit too.

 

And new Minis, and Daewoo, and Honda, and Renault

 

The four stud versions of the VW have a 4x100 pcd which is the same as 4 stud VX, some Rover (some are 4x114.3 or 4x96), Honda, Renault and a few others

 

There's summat nagging away at me at about the centre bore size. I think Rover may be too small but I can't remember If it is, no real prob anyhows.

 

Cheers, I'll have a look at the centre bore size. Hadn't thought about that.

 

You can just get them placcy things for the center of the rim, I think they have Vauxall rims have a lower offset so you MAY have to use spacers.

 

yeah where do you get the placcy trim bits from? how much etc. need some for some other alloys o have.

 

indeed, the vaux centre bit is 56.5mm, rover are 56 or 56.6 depending on model, vw are 57mm

Renault are bigger than VW hance the wobble at high speeds, you can cure this with rings though.

 

centre bore that is, nor rim size... (like someone would do 15.5" rim )

 

click me

 

Toyota fit as my bro has some on his polo

 

Any thing other than genuine wheels and the centre bore shouldn`t be a problem, most ar 60mm or more and use spigot rings to fit different hubs.

 

Rover/Austin used to have metric wheels, real pain to get tyres for.

 

Same with 6-series BMWs.

 

Damn, such a nice car too, unlike the Austin heap 'o' shoite


This is not nice though
