Volksdevil Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Hi Matt, The 9x16's are pretty much always et15, they will physically bolt on no problem being 4x100 for vw/bmw e30. But im unsure of the opel center bore, the vw center bore is 57.1mm, but im sure wherever you buy them from can supply the spigot rings to suit. Or they are probably available on ebay etc. Also it's been mentioned that the center caps may not sit on as they hit the wheel nuts. I think it was Devilfish on here so maybe worth giving him a shout. Id say tyre choice will be quite critical too as far as any catching the arches etc. I have an offset calculator at volksdevil.com/wheeloffset.htm which may be of interest too. Edit:One here running 225/45's Neil. Edited November 3, 2009 by Volksdevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Fish Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) The nuts were from Borbet, the thread etc was fine but they stick out too much and stop the centre cap going on...easily fixed with the angle grinder... maybe you can find better/suitable nuts...mine were ordered through a bunch of seemingly not very clued up chaps from a garage in Bristol. The manta nuts aren't suitable as they don't have a wide enough shoulder and so don't grip enough of the wheel Edited November 3, 2009 by Devil Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Fish Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 fronts are 9X16 and back 10X17 (can't remember tyres but they are stretched on!) Check the link to my 400r project in my sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
