well seeing as i have a gti wich is 5 stud i thought it was obvious i was talking about the 5 stud ones  :rolleyes:

saab are 5x110 and so are vauxhall. not sure if the centre bore is the same though.

Not all vauxhalls are that . They changed with the recent stuff  :lipsrsealed:

Even dealers are getting caught out  :laugh:

And have gOne from bolts to nuts . Again wheels aren't interchangeable

But hey. What would i know  :rolleyes:

Vauxhall and Saab tend to be 5x110 but as Chuff said it is a bit of a minefield

They should be 5x110 but you need to check the offset as a first step.
