A mate has a SEAT Cordobra (spelling) and just bought some 15" Alloys for it, however the guy told him after he paid that the wheels came off a honda, but as they are the sam e stud pattern they should fit, does anyone know if thats true or should i get him to fit some spacer plates? as when he hits 80 or so he gets loads of vibrating thro the wheels, and he just got em balanced as well

cheers for any help

 

Even if the stud pattern is the same the offset may well not be.

I'd be very carefull indeed mate

 

were they off a civic? they have the same pcd and offset etc (4x100) 35-38.... i put some 15" ones on my ibiza the other day and tey came off a nova..ihad to change the plastic ring that sits in the central bore (i dont know what its called) dunno if he did that... my tyres are low profile so i noticed the feel of the road a lot more... they fitted on fine and didnt need spacers. they shouldnt... not much help that was it? hehe sorry x

 

i asked him already what his old ones were, but he binned em and dont know, so hes on a mission to find out what the offset is for his car, then gonna check the wheels,

 

www.tyresave.co.uk/fitment.html hope that helps...

 

The vibration is caused by either poor wheel balancing or lack of Spigot Rings (the centre adaptor rings that JLR mentions above.

The offset will almost certainly be right.

 

great link

cheers alos for the replies, he got the wheels balanced, so must be the ring as you say, so will get him to sort it

 

He'll need 57.1 rings for the wheels to locate & centre properly
offset & pcd is fine.
