[Stewpotz]

friend of mine is about to buy an R reg micra, and has also got a set of corsa sxi alloys of his old car.

what he wants to know is...will they fit??

pcd is 4x100 <- they will fit
offset ?? <-dosnt know
centre bore ??.? <- also dosnt know.

cheers

yeah they'll fit i've got some astra wheels had to use 3mm spacers from halfrauds as the centre bore is smaller

cheers or that, didnt know how spacer work, thought centre bore was the same size...or larger than the part of the axle and if it was smaller then they would need a bit of it machined out...i think if i remember rightly, its 56.6mm centre bore and micras need 59.1 so they would need 1.5mm all the way round...or there abouts.

how do spacers work???

 

[karlj]

it's just a 3mm metal disc with a massive centre bore and loads of holes in it for fitting to any car with 4 or 5 stud

dosnt that mean the car will be resting on the studs not the centre???

yep some say its fine to run that way others say it's not ideal.

i'm 50/50

its the only way your going to get them on your car without boring out the centres to 59.1
