wheel fitment - Bloopeta - 24:th-Oct-2015
Will insignia wheels fit a 5 door astra J? Or are they different PCD?
These to be precise -

J PCD is 5x105 or 5x110 not sure what the Sig is

Hmm would have to use adapters then, just depends on the offset and if they would stick out too far with adapter/spacers.
Just really like the style of the wheel, and have never seen a set on an astra, they not even that common on an insignia tbf

5 120 mate so no but if you you can find spacer adapters then yes
RE: wheel fitment - Bloopeta - 24:th-Oct-2015
Plenty of 110 to 120 spacers about m8 for the £130 mark, just dont know if the wheel will protrude too much with a spacer
RE: wheel fitment - tucpal - 24:th-Oct-2015
i few have had 25mm spacers but you may have to get the original studs changed also
to correct length i would rather pay someone to sort that out
RE: wheel fitment - Rusty2009 - 24:th-Oct-2015
Spacers but extra load on the drive shafts I wouldn't use them myself.
RE: wheel fitment - Bloopeta - 24:th-Oct-2015
Would it put extra load on the driveshaft though? Surely with a hubcentric spacer, and additional load would be taken by hubs, shocks, bottom arms etc??

So I was told by my mechanic.

Hmm may have to rethink then, Ive used H&R hubcentrics in past, for around 4 years and had no probs, but they werent adapters, just spacers.
i would be looking for the smallest spacer possible, as I just want to adapt the stud pattern, not space out the wheels.
I wouldnt use any cheap demontweeks/halfrauds style spacers ever, id only ever use hubcentrics. Alot of people use the 110 to 120 adapter to fit landrover wheels to astras for the euro look, people fit porsche to audi etc, so it is more than do-able, but as you say I wouldnt want to cause premature wear etc
RE: wheel fitment - tucpal - 24:th-Oct-2015
sure its possible H@R would be your best bet
but as i said you may need to make the studs on the hub smaller or larger
with a smaller spacer best get advice from a pro mate then you know it's correct
RE: wheel fitment - Bloopeta - 24:th-Oct-2015
Thanks for the help guys, just loved that wheel from first time I saw it, looks great when moving too
