Afternoon all.

I have a set of 4 Lenso alloys complete with tyres that have been sitting in my shed for too long. Before I put them on the market for sale, I want to understand exactly what cars they are suitable for. I know they are 100 x 4 as I did briefly have them on my E30, but they all have two sets of holes drilled so I'm guessing they have an alternative pitch. See photo below:

Also, I'm not quite sure what offset they are. These are the markings on the inside of the rim:

Can anyone help?

Cheers

If they are multi stud fitment they are probably 4x100 and 4x108. If they are they will fit vw's, ford and vauxhall that I know of.

Looks like et33. Suitable figment for golfs/polos/boras I think. rs turbos are et 35 iirc

Those markings don't tell you what pcd they are, but I would expect the closest to the centre set are the vw/ bmw 4x100, and the other set are most likely to be 4x108mm which is a lot of 4 stud ford and others, some Peugeot, maybe Citroen.

Can't decide if the offset is 33 or a poorly stamped 38.
cheers,

harry

Thanks guys - here's another shot of that ET stamp, though I'm not sure it makes it any clearer.

Will need 10mm spacers to be a reasonable fit to an E30
