    borbet wide alloys

    Id like to put these on my tigra but they only come in vw fitment so the offset will be wrong, will they still fit?

    i would say put stretched tyres on but et 20 is way out of vauxhall fitment ( et 49 i think) so dont know if you would get away with it. best to ask on a dub forum.

    They will bolt on,
    But the offset is sooooo far out.
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    you will be OK with 195-40 rear the will stick out but that the euro kind of look correct?if i were you i would do the borbet t ones but thats a "taste" think and even better if you get 35 offset for front and rear and then stick with a more normal 195/45 diamenson

    i think you might just get away with it with 195/40/16 tyres on a 7.5 rim as my mate as tryed a set of 9x16 et20 on his cav with 195/40/16 stretched on them and lowered 60mm all round and it dont catch he had these wheels on his nova but it had big arches on and coilovers
