My wheels wont fit!!!
I got a set of wheels for my 2wd Sapph Cos and they wont fit.
Im confused because they are a 4 stud multi fit wheel but the bolts on the rear wont line up with the holes, Ive tried them every which way possible.
I have seen Cossies with multi fiw wheels on before so why cant I get mine on?
They fit on the front but need spacers cos they rest against the calipers, they will look the bollox IMO if I can get them on.

Well if the stud pattern is the same on all four wheels surely the stud patten on all four corners of the car is the same, so if they go on the front there is no reason the shouldnt go on the back

They look like KEI's
If you were going to have problems, it's going to be on the front.
If they are multi fit, keep turning - they will fit eventually

what are the stud patterns mate?you say you have fitted them to the front but they touch the caliper but not on the back? a saff should be et38,turbos are et35.it will be ok with a spacer but im not a fan of spacers.
the other problem could be if theyve supplied 4x100+4x108 pcd on the front ans something else like 4x114.3+4x98 on the back.what do the stamps say on the back of the spokes mate?

off a corsa then yeah they should go stud pattern wise.but i wouldnt be putting a corsa wheel on a ford with rwd/4wd.the offset is way out.corsa take an et45 so it'll touch everything on the saff.they sit in far too far.and the spacer would be huge.i wouldnt do it.plus the tyre size will be well out.
the corsa will be 205/40 and the saff needs 215/40

are you saying they ALL have the same marking on the spokes but one you CANT see the et? then it's a case of measuring that one with one that does fit and go from there!

if none of them have an et stamp its damn hard to measuere what it is,i can get the correct info on how to measure it from work but i know its an arse to do.

NOT really as there WILL be a noticable difference with at least one of the measurements on the ONE that dont fit to those that do!

Have a look and see if there are spigot rings fitted in the centre of the wheels. If they came off a Vauxhall they will have a 56.6 hole in them . Fords need a 63.4 so if the Vauxhall ones are still in there they wont fit over you hubs. Take the spigot rings out and get some Ford ones.

Spigot rings removed.
Fronts would need spacers.
Gave up with them, none have offset stamped in them.
Fuck it!, they are now for sale and Im gonna get some Escos rims.
