Fitting Alloys from a Corsa!!!
I always thought that Vauxhall wheels pretty much fit the VW's, the wheels I'm offered have a 56.5 centre bore whereas the mk1 is 57.1!
Will this mean the bolt is too large to go through the alloy to the hub? Or will there be just enough room?
Cheers

having said that though, they may fit. theres some tolerance there so it may be closer than that. Its only 0.6mm to small anyway so sand in the hole 'may' get it large enough to squeeze on.
go on then post a pic of teh wheels :mrgreen:

They arent anything new or amazingly fresh or interesting. But they will improve the handling and give the car more of a wide look.
They are ET38! They should be okay……. I think!!!

Good point made mate.
The wheels are 15's, they come with 195/50 tyres.

Spacers themselves would only need to be 5 or 10mm maybe and are quite cheap.
The flipside however is that at 8" wide and 15 inch tall, you will probably end up having arch clearance issues and need to get your arches rolled :roll:

Best bet is to whip the wheel off and try one b4 you buy them.
There are too many online users to list.
