It is in excellent condition had full service history etc. (just hoping gearbox wont go lol). ALso the car has a cd player and air con,Just wondering is this standard in sports as he said these where expensive optional extras?Also could people help me out on wheels, lookin to get a new set and just wondering if 15,16" rub (it's not lowered). also i understand pcd is 4x100 and et is 38 does this mean i can get ford/vauhaxall rims etc.Also in the terms of wheels can there be any leaway with et. e.g. could i get wheels which are e.t.35 or 40(if so how far can i go with out spacer.hope you can help cheers jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 try the bay, looking about and seeing what styles you like and then incorporate them into making your own individual statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_Pug Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yeh i am open for anything but if i see wheels for sale say which have came of corsa or fiesta or sumit and they are 4x100 pcd what else do i have to look for and what leniance if any is ther with pcd (which is a current 38 aint it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaRNi! Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 no 4x100 is the pcd its the offset you should watch out for but in most cases you can make them fit with spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Pug Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 yeh sorry i meant offset, with the offset 38 cud i fit offet with say 35 or 40 without spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaRNi! Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 usually can get away with it but im no expert. spacers are cheap as foook anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) you'll be fine with any et between et25 and et40 if your not going too low.be careful with anything outside these offset. You can go higher ie et45 or et50 but you will need 15 or 20mm spacers.Decent spacers arent cheap at all! they are around £60 for 2 new for hubcenric ones! Universal ones are cheap but they are crap... you will get wheel wobble unless the spacers are very small ie 2-5mm!You also need to watch out for the centre bore size when buying wheels... VW fitment are 57.1You can go slightly bigger by 1 or 2mm max and buy spigiot rings but be careful again you might get wheels wobble. But dont get any smaller than 57.1 or they'll either not go on or you wont get them back off lol!Ford wheels wont fit... some early vauxhalls will though.hope this helps!
