you need 4x100 PCD, not 114 if that's what you mean.....

Also, could anyone tell me if these would fit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=020 seem as though they'd need a bit of a refurb but could look nice!

Can't see any reason why they wouldn't fit.

4x100 fitment, and 38 offset so yup they should be fine.

Only thing is the 205/50/15 tyres, as that's quite a big size. 195/45/15 would be more suitable.

Thanks alot guys, really appreciate your help! I won the wheels in the end :D so would the 205/50/15 tyres be no good at all? As they need two new tyres, it would be cheaper to just buy two of those opposed to four 195/45/15s? How much am i looking at for a new set of tyres btw... sorry i don't know much about this :s

if you want to lower the car, get 4 195x45x15 tyres.....

if you want to spend less then get the 205s, but your speedo will be out, your acceleration will be slower and the tyres might rub!

Ah ok thanks David, so 195/45/15's won't disrupt my speedo reading?
