i have tried loadz of places but they say that its cause its a weird width! or some rubbish like that!

 

[arseofbox]

Weird width? Its only 13x5.5" thats a standard size...its the PCD (distance between mounting holes) I'd be more worried about..

If yure feeling crazy, or like the mini look, Mini wheels or Rover \MG\BL Metro\100 or whateverthe fooq they are called are 4x4" PCD = 4 * 102...Fiats are 4* 98,

so yu can slide on mini wheels using wobbly bolts!

Tis usually the offset that is the weird dimension for Centos. Can be adjusted with spacers.

i just want 2 put 14s on it but getting stupid prices like £570!!! for 14s!! i got 17s for my civic fof £650!

Go and get some 14"s in a vauxhall fitment. the pcd is only 4x100 so the wobbly bolts will do it. Think they are £3 per bolt at motorworld and the locking wobbly bolts are £30. Brand new 14"s with tyres shouldn't be much more than £400.

[steveEC]

sorry 2 sound dumb but what are wobbly bolts? so just a vauxhall corsa fitment or something?

 

[rallycinq]

The PCD for your car is 98mm, Most four stud Vauxhall/Opels and most four stud VW's( and clones) use a PCD of 100mm. Its only imm out each side. 'Wobbly' bolts are bolts that have a wobbly head that will take up the 1mm difference, allowing you to fit said 100mm PCD wheels.

[steveEC]

so it wont scrub on the inside of the rim??

 

[rallycinq]

That nowt to do with PCD. Scrubbage on the inside of the rim is a function of brakes to big for wheel. Standard Cento brakes will fit inside 13 inch rims. Anything bigger, you need 14s. Scrubbage on the arch, or suspension is a function of offset. This is the distance between the mounting face of the wheel and the centre of the wheel, in section. Cento, IIRC is 29mm, vauxhall 49mm, therefore you would need 20mm spacers, not good. Punto wheels are 38mm, therefore 10 mm spacers, which are OK.
