Vaux are ET49 and im pretty sure Renault are et38

both 4x100 iirc

DangerousBryan

yes.but the hub centre is bigger on the reno and thet stick out more.also they torque steer like a twat cos the offset is wrong and vauxhalls are very sensitive to this for some reason.

AS above...

you can, but it won't handle as well...

The offset effects your suspension gemotry in ways you can't eaily dial out (assuming the suspension is std ish stuff!).

Will fit, but in my experience it creates a lot more bump steer due to setting the centre line of the wheel in the wrong position relative to the steering arm, throwing out the geometry.

Chip,

I just said that!

Yeah i know Alex, but i thought it might carry more weight coming from someone straight

AlexF

Chip,

I don't mean to be rude but do you have any automotive qualifications?




Not sure having a long tounge or being striagth makes you either an automotive industry profesisonal or a qulaified engineer.....

What Renault wheels and what Vauxhall ones exactly?

Anonymous

Very good point

could be carlton ones which are a totally different offset to astra/nova 49mm ones, or it could be 5 stud ones.

AlexF

Steelies from a Reno 19 onto my new Vaux Cav 1.7TD....so i'm sure I can cope with the adverse torque steer

Basicly, the Cav I just got has crap tyres, the Reno19 has new ones....so want to swap them.

Would make life so much easier if I could just swap the wheels, rather than have to stick the 19 on axle stands, while i take the set of wheels down the garage for them to be swapped over......
