| Notes | Cars with a V6 engine were fitted at the factory with a 5½" x 15" pressed steel disc type wheel using 4 stud fixings. We have been advised that it is necessary to remove some of the inner lip (could be around 6mm, each car will be different) to provide running clearance. Subject to fitment check - has not been tried, tested or verified by MWS | |
