   I'v just got a new set of alloys for my 1.1 but i dont know if they will fit correctly. the pcd is correct 4x108 and the offset ET6. I'm aware the offset is wrong and will need spacers or somthing. The problem is i'm not sure if the center bore is correct and how will i find out??

   you don't say what width the wheels are though
   
   you won't need spacers with that offset, the lower the number the more they sit out, you only need spacers when you have higher et than standard et15

   regarding centre bore you will need to measure the centre bore of the wheels and then check up on the same centre bore, very easy to find out on the internet

   well the width doesn't determine the offset really, but the offset and how wide the rim is does determine how much they will stick out, et6 on a 7j wheel will give you a nice poke but nothing ott

   spigot rings will only work if the centre bore on the wheels is bigger than the centre bore of the car
   
   if the centre bore of the car is bigger than the centre bore of the wheels then you can get the wheels milled out to fit
