as long as they are 5x110 stud pattern and over 16" then they will fit but make sure you get the correct tyre size

EDIT: just checked and the sizes are correct just make sure you have 215/50/17 or 225/45/17 tyres

Rear wheel drive offsets are different, they will rub the arches as they will stick out more..

They fit fine on a Vectra B with 215 tyres.

From memory they are ET39

As it happpens i have a spare set in my back garden (with 235 tyres on) i will double check the size and if i get time next week might have a shot at sticking them on

The standard tyre size for the Omega is 235/45/17, putting 215's on it might be a bit small for the rim.

Also if the ones you are on about are the irmscher ones, they are known for cracking so make sure you give them a good check over!

7.5J rim so 215s are fine, there is some discussion that the Vxl OEM 235 is actually too wide for the rim!

They don't crack, however they are quite soft and tend to flat spot or buckle. I know as to get these 4 decent ones took 16 wheels in total.

so to clarify, they will physically fit, the original size tyres of 235 will rub but 215s wont but might be too small, im not the michellin man but do they do a 225 which in theory would be ideal right??

AND stoneshed, you have a spare set of these????????

if they are the same type I had on my Omega MV6, they are definatley known for cracking!

I had two wheels do it, so I put a set of Elite wheels on instead.
