they will go on but the offset is wrong.
rover, vaux wheels will go on a ren and vice versa. |

i got that but wil he be having troubles after driving for a while ?
i personally am a big fan of original alloys but looking at rover range ,i dont think any of them look special to be honest ,thats the only reason i was looking for alloys from a different make |

A lot of early Honda wheels also fit, but offset likely to be different and not too sure about central bores.
If you go on www.rochfordtyres.co.uk I'm sure they have a complete rundown of all the fitment details for most cars. |

they used to, but they took it down because everyone and his dog was linking to it as a reference guide to wheel fitments |

ah but not like it was before, with a big list on one page, was much easier to see which cars were the same fitment that way. |

I used to have the Max Power/Haynes manual for Modifying 
As terrible as it was they did give a list of everything on one page. If memory serves alloys for a Daihatsu Charade GTti will fit as well!
Even some old Nissan's wheels will fit. |
