I'm looking at some second hand wheels that have a central bore of 75mm.
Will these fit on my 19 okay? (No idea what the dimension is on a 19!) |

yeah they will fit, spigot on the 19 is 60mm, but putting the wheels on will be a bit of an arse as you'll have to hold them up as you put the bolts in unless you get the proper spigot rings.
Need to check the offset too. |

It's 45 on the wheels I'm looking at..... isn't it meant to be 42 on a 19? I'm not fussed about 3mm to be honest. |

except its meant to be 37(ish) on the 19, so those wheels will look quite odd.
Do they actually have a 4x100 bolt pattern or have you just picked the absolute most unsuitable set of wheels you could find? |

Yeah 4x100 PCD.
Just caught my eye on eBay, classy Kahn rims in 18" flavour with the right size 215/35 profile tyres on so clearance not a problem. |

Oh, so will 45mm offset make 'em stick out from the car or look recessed into the arches? (I can never get offset right!) |

I take it they're vauxhall wheels of some description then.
They would sit further in than they should. You could pack them out with spacers and longer bolts, but it's better to just get the right wheels. |

Oh, and I don't particularly like them either. They're certainly too big IMO |

I think they look cracking.
Get it slammed with a deep bodykit on it and it would look the cat's cock. |

I can't get my head around this, the £100 car + £100 alloy wheels concept is totally lost me one I'm afraid. |
