pcd is hole allignment

u need 4x100 for nova

offset is hard to explain, but u need as close to 49 as possible
further u get away more arch work required cos wheel will stick out more

PCD as above

Offset is the distance in MMs that the face that touches the hub is from the centreline of the wheel. Most FWD Vauxhalls of this age were 49mm. The lower the offset from 49 the nearer your wheels will be to the outer arch lip.
