My Wheels - Wrong Offset And PCD....

....so it seems.

Just gone and had another look. Took the spare out the boot - its stamped as MIM - made in Italy, all the other wheels are not and are made in England

So they are not MIM's, markings say 7jx15, 112, e13 - which to me means 7inch wide, 15inch diameter, 112mm PCD and an offset of 13

Measured the PCD and its 100mm

The proper MIM clears the brakes no worries, and these wheels will if i put some 3mm shims on, safe to do so or should i ditch the wheels?

PCD isn't a worry; they wouldn't go on at all if they were wrong!! I'm guessing that 112 doesn't refer to the PCD anyway though; the common sizes are 108 or 100 & as you've measured it anyway...

Offset of 13 should be fine too; that's what the genuine mims have & it just means they sit a bit further out in the arches.

I've no idea why they'd suddenly stop fitting though, sorry

Don't ditch the wheels though; they're great lookin things; give them to me, maybe they'll fit on my car!!
