Re: the difference.

I put 14s on mine and I haven't noticed any significant changes. The speedo is pretty much dead on the actual speed +-2mph.

On the front; I had to put 7mm spacers + longer radius seat bolts as the steering arms rubbed on full lock.

is it basically, as long as the filament is 4x100, will they fit, maybe needing spacers and nuts?

You need wheels which are 4x100, offset of 38 or there abouts and a centre bore of 57.1 or bigger but if the bore is bigger you will need spigot rings.

The tyre size on the 14" felicia alloys are 185/60/14

I seem to vaguely recall someone mentioning the wheels from a BMW Mini should fit, with a very slight (1mm) widening of the centre bore..

ive got a set of mini cooper super charged wheels with 2 new tyres (need putting on rims) & two usable tyres,, 17 inch,,£250,, essex area,,

I've got a set of 5 alloys from my favorit, two great tires and two still good condition tires and the spare needs replacing, all alloys in good condition some minor curbing, direct fitment to the felly, £120 norwich area.

thanks for all the offers guys, but ive sourced some now.

got some vw mk 2 polo 14'' alloys with v. good tyres on. might need some shims but hopefully thats all.

thanks again!

p.s. ive just bought some 'Briskoda' car stickers. didnt spend much but every little helps!
