Alloys for winter

[scottishpedro]

Hi all

I am looking to get a set of wheels to put winter tyres on.  I have copied the following text from a local advert, will these alloys fit my 8v Mk2 GTI?  If so what tyres size should I get? (I currently have 195/50/15 on)

4 Fox Alloy wheels
15" diameter, 6.5" width
4x100 PCD, VW, Vauxhall, MX-5
47.8mm centrebore
Complete with centre caps
Come with the spigot rings for a MX-5

Thanks

Pretty sure the mk2 centre bore is 57.1mm, IIRC.

So you'd need to get the centre bores drilled out to that diameter.

Vauxhall wheels should be fine.

I have Calibra ones on my Valver.

Vauxhall 4 stud is 56.6, god knows where the seller got 47.8 from

Get a set of G60 steelies, dirt cheap, look good, and just replace with a new one if you curb it

Yeah get steelies - much easier to look after in dirty old winter weather.

RZ's look the nuts for the money i think . . .

IIRC you can still get G60's from the dealer for ~40 each.

9 and 9.5" x 16" BBS RS's with stainless dishes are what you need.
