   im swapping my alloys with somebody on Thursday and im having AEZ xylo which are 5 stud alloys. In return hes having my vtr wheels which are obviously 4 stud.
   
   Would his wheels just go straight onto mine , or am i going to have to do some playing about with some things ...
   
   Hope somebody can help me !!

   he must have spacers on his to convert to 5 stud, so you will obviously need those spacers with the alloys,

    if they are 5 stud you have really wasted you money, to get them to fit your car would cost a lot of money, just get some wheels that bolt straight on to your car

    well it my fault that he started this thread as the alloys that gareth said to me are 5 stud that you can buy but obviously you can buy 4 stud versions which will fit on the saxo and he didnt believe that they wouldnt fit but then i found out that the alloys he is getting are 4 studs
