GTC & VXR Stud Pattern Variation

[stevie 'g']

Can anyone confirm if this is true? As I messaged a seller on eBay about the possibility of buying some Gtc vxr rep wheels. However on the listing it states it won't fit my 1.4 turbo for some reason. Here's is the listing: http://bit.ly/1dmsybK

This is the reply I had from the seller:
Dear mozza7avfc,

Because the 1.4 and 1.6 has a different stud pattern 5x105 compared to the larger engine size which is 5x115.

Thanks

Sounds like the ebayer is correct with regard to 5 door and estate models but wrong about GTC models

50 tyres on 18" wheels? No wonder they look wrong even 20's are 40 tyres? Thats why it looks like a 4x4

Improves the ride massively though mate

Slightly off topic but Vauxhall don't like things simple when it comes to tyres. I saw a brand new insignia with what looked like 14 inch wheels with 80odd tires lol

So they will fit then? Lol
