Might fit, but will sit about a mile inside your arch...

Thinking about it 15" BBS are ET24 are they not?

Therefore with 20mm spacers.....hmm, 20mm spacers :eek:

I think I'll pass on those :o

20mm spacers, plus the fact that the wheels are narrower, so you'd need that extra half inch just em to look standard... 30mm ish spacers - Not really what you want!

Try and look for something around the et20 mark for a 7j wheel. You know about the 4x100 obviously, but don't forget to check the CB too (needs to be 57mm), or you'll be needing spigot rings / machining. I've had to get a mate to make some up for my new wheels, but it's a bit of a PITA!

Is the CB is what size bolt the wheel takes?

Quite amusing how complicated buying a set of wheels can be :lol:

Sticking with the BBSs for now though, cheers for the help :thumb:

CB's the Centre Bore - the size of the big hole in the middle of the wheel, that needs to match the hub :thumb:

Ah of course Image

Thinking about it 57mm is a bit big for a wheel bolt!
