Fiat stud patterns are different mate if your thinking of using the discs of one of those. i know thats a popular upgrade with some of the vauxhall boys though

suppose you could use either:

4x4 cossies discs (283mm iirc)
ST170 discs (300mm)
FRS discs (324mm)

the choice of disc will depend on the braket you have made up and the wheel size you are using.
