Philplop Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 From a quick google it says Vauxhall centre bore is 56.6. So 0.5mm less than VW's 57.1.Try them first, they may fit straight on, if not, I'd just take the tiniest bit off with some wet and dry paper.

Cooper_GTI Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I put Vauxhall Cavvy Cesaro's on my Lupo.You'll need more than wet and dry to get them on! I used a half moon rasp and it took a couple of mins per wheel. Make sure you keep the bore round, or you'll be bouncing down the road!

Cooper_GTI Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Be carefull ramming them on.Agreed, it's easy to just pull the wheel on using the wheel nuts, but what about when it comes to getting it back off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupoluke Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I had cavvy slabs on my loop, used a bore honer on the wheels to open them up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 i got corsa steels on my lupo, tight fit, bit of elbow grease and there fine !I have heard this before.When you force them on you tend to remove the protective finish off the steel wheel and the hub.That then oxidises.. and they weld themselves together. Use plenty of copper-slip grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
