Depending on the tyre size they should fit ok

wheel goes straight on but tyre size will be different so will alter speedo a little, well worth it for that price though imo

Correct stud pattern, Wrong offset!!!

ET40 is fine on a 19" wheel with the correct size tyres.

What is ofset? And et?

Offset is how far the wheel sticks out and ET is how its quoted.

Ok, very interesting link.... but going off at a very slight tangent how does the info cast into the inside of my GSi alloys translate ?
Sadly, I didn't take a piccy while I was refurbing my spare alloy (and it's far too cold to go outside and look), but the tag on it reads :

Vauxhall Vectra Phase 2 (643135)
Wheel Alloy
GSi 17in .7 x 17 ET41
Pt No 13131083 5 stud fitment

Obviously it's a 17in rim, but what's the .7 part about ?
I'm sure there was something J in the casting mark too ?
