How to fit SuperTurismos?

[daniel7912]

I took my mates OZ SuperTurismos (he used them on a clio 172) to a garage today to see if they'd fit on my saxo VTR, but the guy said that the bolts only fit in half the hole or something....so he couldn't fit them on

Is there any way to fit them on the car? Like buying different bolts?

Thanks!

research PCD of a wheel then you may understand why they dont fit.

saxo's are 4x108 and clios are 4x100.

you will need to buy adaptors to get them to fit which will be about £100.

it may be cheaper just to sell them and buy ones that are a direct fit for a saxo. its better not to use adaptors if you can avoid it.

Damn, i guess i wont get a bargain after all! :(

Ill probs save my money and look for different ones then...cheers Curran

I read earlier, just one thing, Do wheels come in like certain offsets with certain PCD's or can you like mix and match?!? Does that make any sense?
Like will a set of alloys come in:
4x108 et35
4x100 et15
Or do they come in every possible combination. The wheels I'm ordering tomorrow definatly come in et16 which i was told will fit a saxo, or may have been 15 but im pretty sure the guy sed et16, and then can i chose 4x108 with that offset??
Would et16 fit a saxo without spacers?

[VTRcraig]

i think saxo offset is 15-18 so yeh that would fit, and you can ''mix and match'' and choose 4 x 108 with et16 offset, if they have them in stock that is.

[Curran]

different wheels come in different combinations of pcd and offset. usually they are made in the most common sizes which are used by the big manufacturers.

you can get OZ super t's in direct fit for a saxo, so 4x108 et15 to et18

there is always a bit of give in offsets by a few mm or so. so et16 will be perfect for a saxo.

some after market wheel manufacturers make wheels in many different fitments so you can pretty much pick exactly what you want.

most manufacturers like OZ only do the most common sizes.

Would you be able to show me a link to these adapters please? I decided I might as well consider this as an option because I can get the alloys cheap in the first place...i've had a look but not really sure exactly what I'm looking for.

So I have 4x100 alloys and I want to fit them to a 4x108 saxo and I need 4 adapters.

Also, are they easy to fit?

[VTRcraig]

really easy to fit http://www.ultratuning.com/en/product-8277-pcd-adapter-from-4x108-651-to-4x100-602.html

they're a little bit more expensive but i cant find the ones on ebay so they are the only ones i know of.

[daniel7912]

Thanks..

How do they actually fit onto the car? Do they replace something already on it or does it just screw in somewhere? Sorry, i dont know alot about cars! lol

[daniel7912]

I was thinking that if i bought some of these rather than getting the proper sized wheels, then when I eventually get a new car I can still sell these and make alot of my money back, and the wheels are cheap from my mate.

[Curran]

take the wheel off, bolt the spacers on with the bolts provided (onto the hub).

then bolt the wheel back on, onto the spacer

[daniel7912]

Ahh OK.

are these the same as them previous ones posted? These are like half the price.

[VTRcraig]

yeah they look the same, i just found the ones i put on from another thread. dont know about the quality between the two?

[Curran]

yeah they are just 5mm thicker but thats not a problem.
