Selling a set of old wheels, and no idea what PCD they are, I think they're 108, but it doesn't say anywhere on the inside, just the offset which is ET35.

Thanks for any help.

on 4 stud it's easier, measure from the distance between the centres of opposite bolt holes

4x98, 4x100, 4x108 & 4x114 are pretty much your options i'd say

I did that and it was 100(i think!) but they didn't fit on a corsa b (Not mind!) at the time, and they're 4x100?

they could be 4x98 at a guess

did they physically fit on a corsa or was the centrebore not big enough?

They fit on, but the bolts wouldn't line up. Was a few years ago, so can't quite remember.

What size are the tyres?

Measure from the outside of one hole to the outside of the opposite one, sane measurement but easier to do

You mean outside of one, to inside of the opposite?

And tyres are 195/60/15, it's listed on eBay.

if the bolt holes were fairly close (but smaller) then they're almost certainly 4x98 fitment, getting an accurate measurement is the important bit

they're either 4x98 or 4x108

I don't think it will be 4x98. Fiats are 4x98 and I remember trying to find alloys for my old Punto and it was a nightmare, most people use wobble bolts so they can use 4x100 because of the difficulty of finding 4x98 wheels

The same place on both holes. Doesn't matter if its the inside, outside or centre so long as you measure accurately.

Do you not remember what they came off?

But if you have the holes in a line to each other it will be the inside of one and the outside of the other. If you measure them both to the outside you're going to get another half hole diameter than you should have and if you measure it to the inside of both it'll be half a hole under.

I don't have a clue, think it might have been a fiesta or even Puma.

I'll measure tonight, i've said 108 to all the eBay questions anyway
