Will these wheels fit?

Steve Sanders · 24-01-2007, 18:58

Hi, could anyone help, would an alloy wheel 5x100 with an ET43 fit a Fabia VRS without the need for spacers? What do you think?

Jon TDI · 24-01-2007, 19:49

How wide are they?

Hi Jon tdi, they are 6.5x15 five spoke speedline,s

TeflonTom · 25-01-2007, 00:53

yes they 'should' be fine but you will need longer wheel bolts.... my guess is that they aren't for a fabia if they have a 43 offset, also check the size of the internal spigot (the bit that sits on the brake disc) it should be 57.1mm

schrickvr6 · 25-01-2007, 09:53

They sound like Corrado VR6 wheels to me(?) so the centre bore would be fine...it's just a matter of front caliper and inner arch clearance.

TeflonTom · 25-01-2007, 09:56

yeah some of the early vectra's have the et43 as well, and they do have a 57.1mm centre bore

Steve Sanders · 25-01-2007, 22:14

Hi, your spot-on, they are VR6 wheels, which I fancy trying on my car for that comp. wheel look, but wanted your oppinion before I fitted 205/50-15 tyres.

TeflonTom · 25-01-2007, 22:19

i would go for 195/50/15 tyres myself..... it will handle better and the tyres will be cheaper

They will fit providing they clear the brake calipers (should do) cant see why you would need longer wheel bolts though, wont matter a bit regardless of offset as the bolts wil be just recessed in further. VAG have had the same depth wheel bolts for ages.

Generally yes, but need to be more specific for a defnite answer.

Also, I think Speedlines will look great on a Fabia!
