Wheels = white elephant, won't fit & tyres = ready for the skip.

I have these wheels fittet to my D3 (they were already fitted when I bought it) BUT...
...when I bought the car I didn't know they didn't actually fit. It was only when investigating a slight judder through the steering wheel at 60mph (as if I had lost a wheel balance) that I foung that cheap spacers had been used to give clearance from the brake calipers. I had a couple of options, either replace the wheels with ones that actually fit, machine the front calipers to allow the wheels to fit without fouling them or as I eventually did, fit decent hub-centric spacers (I may in future change the wheels). I had to tell the insurer that I had used spacers but the car handles much better and looks good. Personally, I wouldn't have fitted these wheels in the first place.
