Odd one, looking to get some winter wheels for ma car, but having trouble finding an easy way to work out what cars wheels would fit.

My car has 5x100 PCD, with a bore of 56.1 Anything with 5x100 and a bore larger than 56.1 will fit.

I know Impreza wheels are a straight fit, as are obviously Rover 75 & MG ZT wheels.

Anyone know of any other cars which use these sizes?

Just got linked to this - http://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html

So far the list looks like:

A2
A3 (96-03)
S3
Seat Ibiza (02-)
Seat Leon Cupra R
Leon (99-)
Fabia
Octavia
Forester
Legacy

+ the ZT, 75 & Impreza. Any others?

A lot of companies will drill to your specification if you order new rims. But it depends what you're planning on spending, do you just want to snag some cheap alloys off another car, or going the whole hog on lightweight race rims, or after some expensive but heavy "bling" kinda rims?

Also, don't forget about offset, it's very important to how the car will look. Try to find out what other people with aftermarket rims are running size and offset wise, and see if you like how their fitament looks. Also MAKE SURE THEY CLEAR THE CALIPERS!
It's well worth getting it all right, the finished result will make you smile every time you see your car.

cheap rims. Love the ways my current alloys look, but 18" snow tyres are going to cost the earth and be rubbish. Much easier to get something much smaller and cheaper for abuse over the winter.

I could get them redrilled... but I doubt it's cheap. I'm looking to spend under £100...

if they are just trash rims then yeah find some off another car for cheap, just make sure you test fit them and make sure there is enough clearance for everything. Maybe even look at buying some steel rims. Perhaps talk to your local tyre shop, they might have a spare set of steel rims they'll throw in with a full set of new tyres.

Thanks for your input there.

Next time might be a good idea to actually look at what engine I have before you troll.

(hint, not a K-Series, or even a Petrol).

ENGLAND HAS WINTER??

Good thing you have your priorities straight. Looks first, fitment and brake clearance second.

haha lol

make sure of your offset and especially make sure of your clearence when off the jack as it's easy to forget when it turns ok with the hub hanging down
