    Seriously quick question...

    Am I going to have any problems putting Tigra alloys on a Cavalier?

    I'm not going to smash the wheels to pieces from the sheer manliness of a diesel Cav, am I?


    Cheers woodnimphs.

    shouldnt see a problem, as long as offset is ok, go for it

    Offset is spot on, they're genuine Vauxhall wheels.

    Just wondered, as some Landys have problems with weights and stress and things on wheels designed for different models.

    My steels are 14", and the BSA alloys I've got at the moment are 14" too.

    The tigra ones are 15".

    make sure rolling radius is similar if not same as standard, that way you keep gearing and speedo readings too

    Yeah, not a problem regarding that, I just wanted to make sure they can take the weight.

    What, with genuine Vauxhall alloys, in arches that are like caverns and standard suspension?

    ^^^ what he said, if you can get someone with gps to tell you your speed tis a lot easier. using the link i posted and various other sites the wheels on mine 205/40r17 should read slightly lowermph than standard 185/65/r15, never been too bothered about it being exact as i know i have a few mph leeway when my speedo alleges me to be going 30/40/50/60/70, might invest in gps myself one day but til then meh cant bae arrised lmao
