Hi there,
I am the owned of a lovely old Astra mk4 or G, 1999 model. It's a boring car I know but I love it. It currently has steel 175/70/14 wheels, I'm not going to do any fast and furious style modifications on it however I am planning on sticking some alloy wheels on it just to smarten it up slightly. I've bought some second hand 205/50/16 alloy wheels and I'd just like to check with you guys if I need to consider anything before fitting them.
When I fit them I'll let my insurance know, they're only standard vauxhall wheels which came off another mk4 astra so hopefully they should fit. I can tell you they have steel inserts where the bolts go, so will I get away with using my current bolts, or will I need new ones?
I have a 175/70/14 steel spare wheel in the boot, will I get away with using that with my alloys for getting me home or to a garage if I have a flat?
Cheers.
