	Right, loads of what fits what doesn't questions at the moment. Only reply to this thread if you have fitted alloy wheels and you have the following data. wheel name/style or if OEM then what its off. Dimensions of wheel(s) Tyre sizes. Use of adapters. Use of shims Machining required. Offset of wheel(s) Clearance problems? Longer bolts required? Plus anything else I forgot! Pictures would be nice. All dross and drivel will be deleted! - Keep it optimum! Also worth a read And - Wheelspecs.com And - Tyresave.co.uk Try using forum search facility using "wheels" and "alloys" too! Edited by Slackdub
