    Alloy wheels

    Sorry, yet another question from me...

    Can anyone advise as to whether these wheels advertised on eBay will fit my 96 854 T5 as I have no clue what-so-ever with regard to wheel sizes etc?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    Also, is it infact illegal for the wheels to stick out as they did on this guy's car? If not, I guess there will be problems with rubbing etc?

    They should fit - 5 hole.
    It is illegal for the tyre/wheel to be proud of the wheel arch. It might be that this guy has spacers fitted, otherwise they could be wrong off-set.
    If in doubt, don't!

    Fun in the twisties!

    I don't think they suit the car. If you want ones to suite my advice is get

    17" Titans
    17" Volans (v rare)
    17" Khans - look similar to the titans.

    Top 2 are Volvo wheels. Bonus is you know they will fit and carry the load.
