Vauxhall alloys on classic scoob?
 
Hello again boffins!
Just a quick search for knowledge once more lol!

I have a classic scoob 98 which I believe wheel offse

Turbo-tango 15 June 2012 12:07 PM

Sorry lads posted early before finished!!! (dam iPad!!)
I have classic 98 which I believe is a offset of 5x100 but what's the centre hub ring measurement?? Any one?
Some vauxhalls are a 5x100 will these fit? Or is adaptors needed?
Quite fancy a set of vectra snowflakes?!!
Cheers for any wisdom n guidance lads? Has any one got any photos of snowflake alloys on a scoob??

Vectra snow flakes are a lovely wheel, don't know if they would fit though?

Jimbob 15 June 2012 12:12 PM

Vauxhall are 5x110, 4x100.

I know I`ve had a fair few.

And I prefer the Astra VXR wheels, the snowflakes are known for cracking.

Is that right jimbob!! There knows for cracking??? Ssss****!! That ain't good!..
So adaptors will be needed then!its just I looked on eBay at vauxhall alloys and seen loads with 5 studs but the owners are saying 5x100 pcd? Are they getting it wrong then? Bet their all copying each others right ups???.. Do any one know the hub ring diameter of classic scoobs?
Cheers for the reply and photos tho lads very muchly appreciated !!

iir c they are ET35 with 65mm hub centre.

Yeah they are VERY common to crack, your best off getting a set of 18 copies. But then 18 and over on a classic are supposed to be bad for handling as they are too big. 17 is best from what I've read.

Only pics I can find from my stuff showing the backs of the alloys but they are 100% 5x110, iirc VW Are 5x100.

Just double checked on Migweb, and I got a good memory.

5x110 ET35 and bore size of 65.1mm

Turbo-tango 15 June 2012 01:41 PM

So adaptors defo needed then!
Like Steveboxer above said their a lovely design.. N I've scoured the darkest corners of the net n I can't find any one with snow flakes on a classic scoob! So all the more reason to see it thru!!
I know what your Jimbob about 18's ruining the handling! Can u get snowflakes in a 17"??
Cheers lads..
Wes..

But I`m gonna put my neck on the line here and say you`ll not get them on.

Simply by the time youve spaced them out on PCD adapters you`ll add and inch to each wheel +, so taking them outside the arches a fair way.
So unless your willing to make your car a wide arch version its not gonna be possible

Turbo-tango 15 June 2012 01:57 PM

Wonder if they a slightly slimmer version with the replica wheels! Summing like a 215 or summing to compensate for the inch gained from adapters???

Its not the tyre width it's the alloy itself.

alcazar 15 June 2012 04:38 PM

It's the offset.
The two figures YOU quoted are number of holes, and bolt-ring diameter.

The offset for a Scoob needs to be around 53 iirc, those are way out:(
