Renault Clio alloy wheel query
Discussion
I have a Renault Clio 1.4 (2007, 57 registration) which I want to buy some alloy wheels for. Due to general pennilessness buying new is out of the question so I am looking at secondhand from eBay, local advertisers etc.
Now I know they need to be 4-stud with a PCD of 100mm, and an offset of et38 which seems to be the most common type looking through all the various manufacturers spec; Golf, Mini, MX-5, Micra, Civic, Corsa etc. However the bore seems to vary quite a bit and Renault seem to use quite a large bore at 60.1mm.
So my question is: how much tolerance is there on bore size? And if I buy whhels that are otherwise correct but with the wrong bore, how easy is it to enlarge one that's too small? And is there a tweak to enable wheels with too large a bore to be fitted?
(http://www.nice-wheels.co.uk/wheelfit.html is a good place to look for comparisons.)
