Any use?

having read that im guessing i need a minimum of 10mm spacers to make them fit?

No idea personally, not something I understand/pay attention too. Just thought it might help.

Think these are the same ET as what you want to fit, and I think somewhere the OP mentioned what spacers he has used.

i picked them up locally 2 tyres are ok 2 are shot. only paid £53 for them and im slowly refurbing them black.

They look good though IMO, not bad for £53.01! Would suit a Fabia well. Might need the check the size of the bore(?) as I think Subarus are different to VAG cars.

all i know is they are 5x100 5x112 im pretty confident i can get them to fit....bit of a pain in the arse i agree but ill defo get them on lol.

Might need the check the size of the bore(?) as I think Subarus are different to VAG cars.

They are indeed

56.1 on Subarus.

57.1 on VAG

right so the bore is out by 1 will that make such a big difference honestly?

I'd guess, and this is just a guess, that it'll be 57.1 if it fits both, and the Scoob people will need to fix it/add adaptors. Easy enough to measure it I guess.

Out of interest to those in the know, are they 56/57.1mm?

ive checked the back of the wheels and it doesnt say **** about the bloody bore size:( ill get them finished and ill check how they sit on the car on the next available day....only thing im thinking is should i get centre caps for them or leave them open?

Measure it with a vernier/caliper?

I'd get centre caps personally. Some pikeys stole a couple of mine, and it looks awful with just the end of the hub (and a spine in one case) showing through. Even if it's just a bottle top wedged into the hole and painted it'll be better than nothing IMO. I'd wait and get them fitted up first though.
