Will they fit? (Wheels question)

advancedroadcraft · Jun 27, 2013

I have a 2001 P38.
Ive just been offered a super condition set of alloys from a 2005.
So, the obvious question above for the resident gurus, please.
Thanks in advance, B

yes they will fit, but you will need spigot rings and bolts

wammers · Jun 27, 2013

Yes they will fit same PCD. But you will need a set of new nuts and four spigots.

Lad has just fitted some of them to his Vogue. Gave me his 19s with almost new tyres. So seeing as how i needed two new boots for my 16s, a set of locking nuts and new L322 nuts with some spigot rings came to £70.00. A lot better than £200.00 or so for new boots. So put the 19s on. No problems drives very well, car looks a little better proportionally balanced with the larger wheels. Pretty happy with them.

Sorry to disappoint, but they're just 'standard' 16 x 5s! (But powder coated in an anthracite grey.)

Not as far as i know they don't, should be either 7.5 J 18s or 8.0 J 19s.

I tend to agree, 19" seems to look just right on a P38. But 16" is what works best on the bomb-crater roads where I drive so that what I have.

+1
Could push to 20" but would very much depend on the style
Did the any p38 ever have standerd bigger that 18"?

Only if you want your fillings to fall out if you use tyres to keep the same rolling radius, or if you fit more comfortable tyres constantly tripping speed cameras.
