I sold my alloy wheels from my corsa gsi to a mate who also has a corsa b, but when the wheels are on his car, the car seems to judder when braking and the wheels look like there wobbling when its moving, but the wheels nuts are tight?

Any suggestions why this is happening?

Are the bolts long enough?

Are the wheels the right fitment?

Well, both cars are corsa's and i used the same bolts, et 45, i cant see how two cars the same can have different effects with the same wheels!?

Do some alloy wheels have plastic spacer things to make the wheels sit better ont he hub, could this be it?

get some spigot rings on it and try that but if not sounds like it could be just some warped disks!

right, from searching on here ive found that if the judder is through the brake pedal its the rear wheels with the problem and if the judder is through the steering its the fronts with the problem.

Is this true? i will try some spiggot rings.

Won't need spiggot rings with standard wheels! They're only needed when the wheels are made to go on cars with different hub bores!
