Koop Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Isn't there someone on here with them? Look cool but a bit thin. Centre bore needs to be embiggened by 1mm I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelt Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 that would be me haha.they're only 5j which is why most people tend not to go with them, i however still love them . you're gonna need at least 15mm hub centric spacers all round to fix the offset, unless you want to lose your wheels somewhere in your arches.then either bore out the actual wheels themselves to go from 56.1 to 57.1mmor take .5mm off the HUBCENTRIC spigot. the spacers option is cheaper and quicker and leaves the wheels standard for later resale.this is how they look on 15mm spacers with coil overs wound all the way down. http://www.flickr.com/photos/76259927@N07/6846265887/http://www.flickr.com/photos/76259927@N07/6846270305/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvelt Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm running 165/50/15's all round . Got the wheels for 75 quid off eBay and the spacers for 75 quid. Pretty cheap and so worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geof Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) I just put a set of these on Melissa's Lupo - and the ones we got were 5.5J - we fitted 185/50 r15 tyres and they look ok - just need to hit it wth the lowering stick as soon as i get a chance.Wheel Size - 5.5J x 15Offset - ET45Tyres - 185/55 r15Other information: No spacers needed - used standard wheel bolts. No rolling of arch needed. Trimmed inside lip of rear mudflap where it fits around body panel to give extra clearance.Wheels were originally fitted to BMW Mini ONE. They are called "Imola" - they are a lightweight alloy wheel at 12lb per wheel.Had to bore the hole centre out to 57.1mm. Centre caps pop out and take a standard 50mm VW badge.
