you'll need to watch what year the car the wheels came off

both use 5 x 130 stud pattern

but pre 87's are et25, u want post 87 which are et45

the adapters will reduce the offset by anything between 15 & 20mm

don't forget you'll need longer wheel nuts too

There is far more choice of wheels if they are 5 stud, are these adaptors safe as i would fancy some.
