You need wobbly bolts

Nice :)

Is it worth doing the speed and handling in tho?

Sam

They are only out by 2mm?

How can the PCD be different if the wheels went straight on?

Sam, the PCD is the same as the bolts all lined up, we had the wheels on the car and it moved, they just need pushing out a couple of mm's to stop it rubbing on the caliper.



PCD for FIAT is 4x98, PCD for corsa is 4x100

they will look crap, make your car slower, handle even worse as well

But they look lush :D

Lenso's :D they don't rub on the metal, just need to take the arch liners out.

Excellent, so all I need now is some 5-10mm spacers.


Ojc

Yes, but when the nipples are screwed in the disc is tighter than without the nipples.

:lol:

ojc, the screw u undid is only there to stop the discs falling off when u take the wheels off, it has no other function.

What about wheel offset?

Yes, longer bolts and some spacers is all I need.

But what worries me is these nipple things, there about a 1 centimetre big and the wheel won't sit on the hub with them on there, we un-done them took them off and the wheels went on fine.

But when we put my wheels back on we realised that the disc looked quite loose but when we put the nipples back in it tightened the disc up again.

I assume they have the same PCD, ie. 100?

my dad did this the other way round, put fiat alloys onto an astra max van. they stuck out a bit more than the standard ones, yeah, get some spacers. find out what the offset fiats have and the offset of the wheels then get spacers for the difference, plus some longer bolts.

I did think that...

they were for the baby brake discs to suckle when they are young...

Put some 17's on yesterday and they rubbed only on the caliper, does this mean that I need some spacers?

Also there were a couple of nipple things pointing horizontially out of the brake disc, we took them off and the wheel went straight on, but what are they?
