I stupidly presumed the alloys off a mk1 VRS would fit the mk2 facelift scout. They don't. Are scout wheels specific for it or can only mk2 ones fit? And if anyone wants any Mk1 VRS alloys let me know 

Mk 1 Octavias are a 5 x 100 stud pattern where as the mk2 (including the scout) is a 5 x 112. You just need to check the centre bore dimensions and the offset of  the wheels you want to fit. Best way to do this is to look at your original wheels and the information should be stamped on there.

That explains it. Thanks for the tip 

Any MK5 or later golf based car wheels should fit, along with most Audi's and larger VW/seat's.

 

I run Audi A4 alloys on my Scout - 16" 5x112 57.1mm centre boar and 42mm offset

originals I believe are 17" 5X112 57.1mm and 50mm
