Aftermarket Alloy wheels

[Nat12104]

does anybody know what other cars share the same stud pattern, offsets and whatever else is in the equasion , finding it rather hard to find a nice set of alloys to fit onto a k11 (after 14's to fit over larger discs + calipers form a almera gti...once i have it all )

This small list has the same PCD and CB

have the measurements got to be exact or they will not fit?

Well the PCD needs to be exact yes...

The centre can be bigger but you'll need spigot rings and if it's smaller they wont fit at all.

what is the centre bore size is 5mm different (smaller) cause mx5's aftermarket market is as wide as the sea so surely i could alloys that fit an mx5

 

[skymera]

MX5 is 5mm too small so you'll need to run spacers and extended studs or have them bored out.

If you go aftermarket then they will most likely have a large centre bore, e.g. Rotas, but yes stock MX-5 wheels no worky

really is quite a hassle finding alloys, never thought it would be like this hahaha

Well not really.

If you're stumped at PCDs and centre bores then how are you going to cope with offsets

cross that bridge when i arrive at it, its all new to me haha

My advice is do the wheels last.

Because alloy wheels on a stock height cars looks silly.

Indeed they do! Where's my stick?

Also, they add to the cost of insurance. My wheels came from a Seat, the centre bore was 2mm too small but I had them machined to fit. No problem for an engineering works and not expensive either.

cant stand the look of cars without alloys

If you can find me a set of 15" Watanabes like these, you can have mine....
