Depends on size?

Can get 13's,
16's off renault (megane I think) etc

When i had my polo there werent any spigot rings and the car rattled at 50, bought some off ebay for £5 from rimsntyres so easily sorted

 

[Seat-Chris]

well i just got me some banded steels that are stamped gm so im guessin there vauxhall et43 7.5j and 8j

 

[Seatmann]

7.5 & 8j? That's 7.5 inches and 8 inches, hopefully you got two of each so you can use them as axle sets. You'll more than likely need 5mm spacers to fit them, at least for the front. That's what I've had to do with mine with the same E43 offset, I think they're about E37 for standard but not 100%. Just make sure they clear the brake calipers by a few mm before you drive anywhere.

 

[Seat-Chris]

yeh 2x7.5's (fronts) 2x8's (rears) and i currently have polo steels in 14inch which are et43 i believe and there fine, mines only a 1.4 so brake clearance isnt realy an issue

 

[suj]

seatman, I don't think you need spacers, as the original ronal mulitspokes are 6J ET38

and them steels were probably like 5-5.5J ET43
but never know until trial fitted

 

[Seat-Chris]

yup ill try them tomorrow when im done scavenging from the local scrap yard
in-fact does anyone know the measurement from the front of the hub to the front/outer of the suspension ?

 

[Seatmann]

Yeh I had to use spacers on my 1.4 polo I used to have just to clear the calipers really. That's the main thing and also don't want them to sit to far in and look naff.

 

[Seat-Chris]

if they dont poke enough ill get me some spacers

 

[Seatmann]

Yeh I need some big ones for the rear of my Cordy vario, the wheels sit way to in. What size diameter are the Vauxhall wheels?

 

[Seat-Chris]

15's mate ill do a trial fit tomorrow and get some piccies up

 

[Seatmann]

Cool that should look quite good, my wheels are 15's but I'd prefer them to be wider, they're about 6.5 I think.

 

[Seat-Chris]

Ive got a set of Camille gottis (look like borbet A) that require tidying up with out tires for sale there 15x7 et 28 i believe if your intrested

 

[suj]

seatman, seeing as he has staggered widths, 0.5" wider rears, equates to a 12.5mm adapter (compared to the fronts)

as the widened band will be be on the outer lip
so only spacers he'd need is to clear the brakes like you said (well, if he needs it lol)

Cheers but I'm skint for now, been spendin dosh on springs, brakes, oil, fuel, tyres etc.

I think the tyres might be an awkward size, not common usually means more dosh.
