SAAB has used the same size wheels at some point, with a center bore a bit wider.

Audi 80 and some 100s had the same bolt pattern (4x108), but narrower center bore (57, you need 63.4). If the wheels are aftermarket, they will have a larger bore and plastic spacers, so they should fit fine.

Also Peugeot/Citroen used the same bolt pattern, but a much smaller offset, so they will not be an ideal choice.

Hi Ayjay, welcome to the forum by the way

I have the same donor as yourself, I bought some cheap alloys off fleabay for £41 ( for all 4), they are originally from a Ford Puma & known as "propeller wheels" & they fit no problem, look quite smart too ( if I say so myself ), I wanted these as they have large spokes & so hide the weedy looking Sierra discs & drums quite well

cheers
andy
