on wheels like cesaros you will sometimes need the wheel weights on the outside as pictured above ^^^

Yea, my weights don't fit on the inside of the wheel - I had to ask specifically for clip on weights when i got the wheels balanced.

any vauxhall with this spec or engine, but only really your older type vauxhalls as they will be expensive of newer ones,
Cav, cali, vectra, omega,

You need to redrill them like everybody else does, one of the bolt holes lines up nearly to the four stud hub but needs elongating out, once uve done that put the disc on the hub then put the one bolt in that uve made to fit, then on the back of the hub mark all the holes up and drill them, make sure you have the spigot spacer that sits on the in side of the disc so it doesnt wobble about, its easier than u think
