Cheers woody,the front ones won`t hit the bodywork when the adaptor is on,the rear may be something else,Ive only held the wheel up against the hub and looked round it but the seems to be clearance but with a smaller tyre (175).

Chris
Blimey Woody,you on the Old Speckled Hen as well???

If they aren't rubbing on the rear arches or front inner wings, keep them. Look good Chris.

Thanks Chris . . .looking good.

99 minilite type alloys will fit a 96 if it has the 4 stud Monte Carlo hubs and they don't need the spacers, but I expect you know that. Don't know if the 5 1/2" 99 wheels will fit under the rear arches with spacers but you might have to have fairly narrow tyres to make it happen.

He had that sticker for ages apparently,he may not remember. I dont know his phone number or address but I am sure someone on here will and let you know.
BTW the lines you can see on the sticker are pinstripe lines, applied after the sticker.

Unfortunately the sizes were not put on the advert and I assumed they were 5.5Jx185x55x15 but they are 6Jx195x55x15 so I will have to sell these again and get some slightly smaller ones. They do look good though dont they??

Once you cost the price of the material and the price of the wheel studs (dont use cheap rubbish screws)is it worth messing with for £280?????

The one I quite like is the Rover Fission type,looks like a Minilite lookalike but comes in a 6J width. Peugeot do some nice ones as well, and Fox Racing do,

Don't buy anything until you know it will fit. Those over there that have used these spacers will have made the mistakes already and know the answers. Any wheel will be a bit further out, and getting a standard wheel under the rear with a slightly bigger tyre is bad enough. Mini ones might work, they look as if the shape would help to keep them a bit more inboard.
