I'm taking my 19" snowflakes off my 2002 3.2 elite for a couple of days, for a full refurb and some new tyres. I can't afford to be without the car for any time tho, so I'm on the look out for some cheap alloys for a couple of days. I've come across these, will the tyre profile fit ok. The car will proably cover 200 miles with these alloys on. Thanks

Yup they will fit, look like VeccyB ones to me :y
-
I can't see anywhere in the ad that says all four wheels for sale. the starting price is low for four wheel and tyres :-?, it might be an idea to ask the seller the question before bidding.
-
not really...
I would say that is for all four.
just because its a low starting price doesnt mean it s worth less.
I start lots of auctions at 99p doesnt mean i think thats all they are worth, or indeed what i want for them.
And the listing says THESE wheels.
-
'all in good condition apart from one which has a small mark on it'
Sounds like all 4 to me
Offset will be wrong but OK for a few miles
-
Not sure why you need Irmscher, or 17", but they look good.
-
Why not just buy some cheap steal wheels?
-
I'm Fairy sure these are omega alloys... pre facelift mv6 alloys resprayed?? so no problems with fitting at all :y
-
The 50 section size 'might' be a tad tight on the front struts.....
-
they will definately fit, and it is for all 4

afaik i thought the offset was the same for vectra astra omega 5 stud fitments http://www.alloyguide.com/Vauxhall.php

Yes I have just seen that alloyguide, and it says that (apart from Nova, Vivaro & one Corsa,) EVERY Vauxhall offset is within the range. From memory I think Vectra wheels are close enough, but to be pedantic, they need spacers and longer studs. I think ET39 is marked on all Omega OE Alloys, but could be wrong. (Your guide says 35-38) The further out the wheel is, the wider the track, and the more wear on your bearings. The further in, the closer they are to the shocks.

I have just had to fit my steel spair and that has ET 33 stamped on it? What is the ideal ET for a omega as i have a set of 18" fox racing alloys that susposedily came off a calibra but there's no ET markings on them i was thinking about getting some 5mm spacers are they safe to use? Sorry for hijacking the thread
-
I always thought omega was same offset as Carlton....ET33
And vectras the same as Cavs.........ET49.
(And Calibra BTW)
I could be wrong of course, I am much more au fait with the early 90's models. On these Basically FWD = ET49, RWD = ET33
Typically +/- 5mm from these figures gives no problem.
(Just checked Vectra Bs are ET44)

As said, the wheels in the E-bay link are from an early Omega Mv6.
Any Vauxhall 5 stud wheel will physically fit on any Vauxhall model with 5 stud hubs... however the off set (how far out the wheel sits in relation to the hub) may be wrong, according to fwd or rwd.
