      VW rims on aveo??

      would VW Corrado alloy rims fit on a 04 sedan. i really want to replace my stock 14" steelies. i know the bolt pattern is 4-100 and the offset is for a fwd car.

      they will, the hub bore is .5mm bigger on the vw (57.1 as to our 56.6), so you might need to take care mounting them.

      stock offset wheels will fit, vw's aftermarket tend to go lower offset too, i have a set of those. 32mm offset.

      By offset he means the backspacing of the wheel. A lower offset will be spaced out further and poke while a higher offset will suck into the wheel-wells more. Oh, and those corrado wheels will work.

      sorry no picture of the stock vw wheels, i am running after market borbets off a vw now.

      but yeah, offset is where the hub mounting surface is in relation to the rest of the rim.

      Centerbore isn't all that important if you run acorn nuts. Obviously, if the centerbore is too small, you need to torque those nuts very evenly so the wheel turns true...

      NOT!
