Will these fit a 1999 OCTAVIA TDI?

[pg200]

Just purchased these from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=027 for £25!!! Will they fit a 99 TDI estate? I've tried one and all the wheel bolt holes line up but the centre disc is recessed whereas it's flush on the normal steel wheels? Any ideas???

I believe there are different wheel bolts for alloys and steel wheels.

[pg200]

I've got the correct alloy wheel bolts it's just the actual fitment I'm concerned about. When you put the wheel on there is a centre disc which the wheel fits over and it seems to be recessed on the alloys wheras it's flush on the steel wheels.

I thought octavias had 15" wheels.....

Those look more like Fabia 1 alloys to me. The seller has quoted a tyre size, not a wheel size, anyway.

And yes Bloodnok, IME Octys have 15" (pre-facelift, Classic and Ambiante), or larger on Elegance, L&K and vRS models.

Yep I agree with KenOneill thay are from a Fabia. Anyway thay still look a lot better than the horrible steel wheels that I've got at the momment. But are they safe to fit, has anybody put Fabia wheels on an Octavia before?

Yes , Mk1 Fabia and Mk1 Octavia wheels will fit on each other just fine , though you'll need different profile tyres for each car.

[KenONeill]

What size tyres are you running just now? You'll need to sort out a tyre size that gives you the same rolling radius within about +/-2%.
