do vw wheels fit vauxhall

[*MIKE*]

This mite be and stupid question but do vw 4 stud wheels fit vauxhall 4 stud?

They will physically go on, but may rub arches (or worse) & you'd be wise to check your wheel bolts are long enough.

ok itsx just i mite be gettin a set or borbet wheels froma vw for my nova

[craig green]

I would bet my shatterproof ruler that they will stick out too far & rub the wheel arches like crazy. I also reckon the handling will suffer as a result.

Are you aware of the '49mm offset issue' on Vauxhalls?

[*MIKE*]

lol orite there not the deep dish kind just got 6 spokes and quite flat they kinda look like the vectra gsi wheels

[Stuart]

thats irrelevant lol.

If the ET number is very low (compared to ET49) then they will stick out a long way and be a mare.

[craig green]

Ahh Borbet C.

As Stu says, they will stick out way too much if the Et no is less than 45 (which it will be).

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately old FWD Vauxhalls are really sensitive to the offset issues.

surpose i could ask the person if i could try them on the car and see what they are like

[Stuart]

for reference, I fitted Manta wheels to my nova once.. they were ET32, they scrubbed like mad on ~STd suspension etc.... and stuck out a fair way....

you can try by all means but I really dont think this is the wya forwards. I was looking for wide 13" rims for my track car a while back and couldnt find much in the vauxhall offset (and i went down the VW route big time!)

I had 9x16 Brock B1s off a golf on my nova, but i had widearches!!
