PCD ???????
PCD stands for (pitch circle diameter) and is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheels bolt holes. PCD is measured in millimetres and also indicates the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have.
Omega is 5 x 110 PCD, Offset is 35-38 & bore is 65.1

Post by: cem_devecioglu on 01 February 2011, 18:18:40: pcd is same so ok... offsets wont be big problem.. (omega 35-38 offset, astra 35-45 ) .. but imo wheels are something special that you need to see near the car :-/

also I would personally recommend spending the budget for better tires on a smaller size like 17 or 16.. :-/

Post by: Agemo on 01 February 2011, 20:36:34: Yep, they will fit, even the bore is the same. I do agree that they need to be on the car before deciding though, photoshop perhaps? ::)

remember both p0 and potenzas need a bit warm up period for full grip.. p0, potenza (potenza and p0 could be a bit more noisy) and conti are all ok..

contis 225/55-17 145£

potenzas 225/55 or 50-17 around 150£

and stay away from falkens ;D (for you chrisgixer)

Post by: 2woody on 02 February 2011, 08:30:20: for a 17" wheel, your acceptable tyre sizes are :-

215/50 x 17
235/45 x 17
245/45 x 17

but do check that each of these tyre sizes are compatible with your rim width.

Not sure the offset will be correct for omega as the Astra is front wheel drive which uses a differant offset I believe. :-X

I run 18' with 245 35 18 tyres with no problems, but yours are differant offset again although the ad doesn't specify afaict.

There have been reports on here that p zero tramline quite badly on the omega. So avoid them and falkens and you should be fine.
Conti Any Dunlop ESP good Ime. Not cheap in those sizes though. :'(

why ? whatever the size difference, it can be arranged with tech 2

however, I would prefer 215 55 16 :P

Only for the standard tyre sizes on the Omega, and only for calibration of the instruments. I suspect 2woody might also be considering the finer aspects of suspension setup and handling. ;)

as seen above both setups 225/55-16 or 245/45-17 can be used instead (difference of 0.5 km/100 km) without any problem..many odometers anyway have more reading errors than that..
