Your Fabia is 5 stud. Thats a problem right there.

Hi Shifty is there no adapter i can purchase or is there simply nothing i can do?

I'm waaaay down the list of people I'd consult about wheel fitments, but the PCD is wrong (the fabia is 100), the number of bolts is wrong (as Shifty already noted) and the ET is bang on, so any spacer/adapter is going to widen the track of the car I would have thought.

Sometimes it's just better to sell the wrong thing and buy the right one. I'm sure a set of Ford Fiesta alloys would sell quite quickly.

Well yea i was thinking of selling them.... dunno how much for they cost me £665 in 2004 they need refurb because there scratched i have 4 alloys with tyres and 1 alloy which also needs work, would come with McGuard locking nuts

what does PCD and ET stand for? i just typed what was printed on the invoice.

what sort of alloys fit the fabia?

Ryan

PCD is the spacing of yours studs.

eg

5x100 (five studs, arranged 100mm from each other if you like)

ET is the offset of the wheel, the difference between the mounting face of the wheel and the centre line.

[Tech1e]

And with the fabia you have a huge choice of alloys, anything 5x100 will fit from the VAG range, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, VW wll go on no problems

[Octavia_VRS]

Cheers Lummox, so all i need to do is make sure the stud pattern is for 5 bolts and is by 100? would these fit as i really like the look of these and wondered if there too much?

if my steels are 185/65/14 would it best to go to 15" as my car is std fabia comfort 02 1.9tdi what dimentions are best to use?

[Tech1e]

Not to my taste but hey its your car.

Check the Fabia alloys archive thread, pages and pages of selections.

PCD = Pitch Centre Diameter - so the pattern of the mounting holes lie on a 100mm circle.

I knew they should not have stopped teaching engineering at schools, and maths too ;-)

D'oh!

[Octavia_VRS]

micklecats....... that a jibe at moi lol? well i never did engineering lol werent an option i know the basics of a car but not all the technical jargon prehaps you should teach me ;-)

try an ebay search for wheels,i picked up a set of tt 6 spokes in a 17" flavor for £80,and a nice set of 17" tt comps for £40,the list of available wheels that will fit as ross said is huge,and with using oe wheels from somthing in the vag group they don't cost theearth either:thumbup:

[Gizmo]

This gives you an idea of how a wheel is sized.

The diagram is a 7"x16" with a 5x112 PCD, 37mm ET and with a 57.1mm bore (most VAG)

ALL of the sizes are important, some more important than others

:

Width - various widths will fit

Diameter - various diameter wheels will fit

PCD - this is not changeable (apart from with adapters, which can be more trouble & money than it's worth)

ET - slight changes are acceptable

Bore - needs to be correct (again spigots are available to reduce the bore size of a wheel)
