Just sold the Barina (Corsa) and I have bought a 1996 TR Astra GSi. I'm curious as to whether or not the wheel/tyre combo I have on the Barina will carry over to the Astra without any problems? The Barina wheels are 17" x 7" PCD 100, ET 45 running 205/40/17 tyres. So far I cant find the stats on the size tyre I need for the Astra. Do I need new tyres with a different profile or will these carry over no problems.
Thanks in advance.
Stuey.

Tyres and offset should be ok i think, not sure about the PCD

They should fit, dont all Vauxhalls need wheels that are PCD100 and ET49, you can play a bit with offset because there is always a little space but PCD needs to be the same.

yes, the astra is 4 stud. Thanks for the help fellas. The reason I asked mainly is I part with the Barina today, and dont collect the Astra until tomorrow. If the wheels didn't fit then I may as well flog them off with the Barina. But since they should fit, I'll hang on to them. Saves parting with another $2,500 for wheels and tyres!
