I have set of Azev 7.5x16, with et30, they came off a VW Corrado.
Will these fit the touring?
I know the standard BBS are 7x15, with et25.

I need to know as I will be getting them refurbished & also treat them to a set of tyres.
I don't want to waste my time if they aren't going to fit.

touch & go, I reckon you'd need 2-3mm spacers up front (to be safe) 7.5 with an et30 will be a bit close to the uprights off the top of my head. Not the end of the world, but what you space out up front, you want to repeat at the rear, unless you want some/more fun

Cheers, I thought as much.
Gonna stick the Azevs up for sale, don't really want to start looking for spacers etc.
Rather spend some effort into blinging up the BBS, until something comes up.

the vast majority of bbs will be a fair bit lighter than Azev's, so no bad thing really
