I got a EL and currently have 15 in rims on them. my dad has 4 spare 16in steel rims from a BA. I need new tyres.
I believe i cannot use these rims as they have a different stud patten.
Can someone clarifiy that for me. Or am i wrong?

Cheers Adam.

They have a different offset. So i think they will fit but they will be hitting some suspension components. You could get hub adapters but they are illegal and will void your insurance.

So they do not fit and i can not fit them legally. I better start saving up for new tyres then.
Thanks.
Cheers Adam.
