How is the centre bore on those? I have 4 Mk3 Astra 3 spoke alloys I was thinking of slinging on my K11, but the spec shows the Vauxhall has a smaller centre bore (by nearly 3mm, I think).

Thanks very much for that Josh!.

they sit flush to the car mate there fine,there a 60mm bore on them that make me think there not of a corsa :/ mate i got them of said they where stranded corsa wheels,and had to use a 1mm o ring to stop a little play,saying that tho i try my mum mk3 golf wheels on and they sat flush to and there 2/3mm smaller bore

Hmm. I'll have to offer one up and see how it fits. Cheers for that; you've given me hope

I had 14" bbs's on my old super s. 6.5j 27et. They fitted perfect I just needed to roll the rear arches. Found best size tyres are, 165/50/14, 175/50/14, 185/50/14 or 195/45/14. They are all near bang on the size of stock k10 wheels.

Well, the scabby wheels seem to fit flush. Not sure how to get the studs longer: Can you get deep wheel nuts? These are 5 1/2J 14:

I could use standard size tyres!

 

[mas12555]

Look like corsa wheels? What do you mean by deep wheel nuts? Also best tyres for k10s are 185/50/14 size or anything near to that size.

I'm worried the studs may not be long enough to get the nuts on properly.

You can get extended studs but dont really know where you get them from. @frank should know or even someone like @Enuo

aye ebay m12 x 1.25 iirc, stock are about 45mm (slight difference in front and rear ones )

I got my extended studs from Peter Lloyd

 

[Kaptain Klang]

Is there a "How To" guide for fitting longer studs?

 

[Enuo]

Not that i know of... need a press or a big vice and a deep socket...
