You'd be very unlucky to have problems with a 5mm difference,i'd try them on car and see how the wheels fit,ignore the tyre as they're the wrong profile and go from there,i've fitted wheels which on paper shouldn't work but do !
General Alloy alloy alloy what's all this then?

Well....
I had a puncture nsr so decided to test fit the alloys. Perfect, virtually the same amount of thread bar a turn showing out the back of the wheel. Filled the arch but not too much, lovely
However the front one is no go. Hub centre is too small so spacers and long bolts would be needed for sure, making the cheap ebay wheels a complete waste of time for now
Well looks like they will be for sale in the classified very soon
If anyone has any genuine panda alloys they would part with let me know

That makes no sense, if they don't fit the front hubs properly then they shouldn't fit the rear hubs either as they're all the same size.

I really don't know anything about that, rear are drums and the fit over that.
Front discs middle hub is too big to fit through wheel centre - not by much though.
The only experience I've had of alloys is when they come with the car so really struggling with this.
BTW the puncture is not repairable so willl have to fit a new continental to match on the steelies dammit

Would like to if I get the new tyre sorted early (and mum round the shops too).
I need a fresh set of rubber for the alloys which'll have to wait until next month now even if I can get them on the car
Keep you posted

Will have to miss it today, only just back from shops and wheel still to change, oh and mum's just remembered new kitchen is being delivered next week and the garage needs clearing out. Grrrr
Catch you next time
You could be the honorary sinq at Panday ?

Yep, that worked, managed to get the alloy on.
Now this really is an arch full
Magically clearance is ok-just on full lock :devil:

NO thanks, saw enough of my mothers unmentionables when she tried to get in the mk2
mk3 stays tall proud and away from any possibility of seeing the old girls drawers - again!
Roll on summer wheels and tyres time
