saab wheels

would it be possible to get these wheels to fit a 9n polo year 2002?
also how do you go about changing the colour of wheels to be black? is this expensive?

cheers

stud pattern is 5x110 I do believe

So you would need a custom made adaptor to get 5x100 to 5x110. Possible but expensive if no-one does them out of the box, and they will make the wheels stick out if the offset is low. Then the spraying would be about £50 per wheel at a normal place.

Probably more cost effective to find an aftermarket wheel that looks the same/similar and has 5x100 fitment.

Alternatively, you could fit a SAAB drivetrain :)

thanks for the quick reply.
so what is the 5x100 my 9n is then, i know the 5 is 5 studs what is the 100mm?
That covered everything cheers, guess i will start looking for some out of the box first. Anyone know any good places?
Aftermarket ones sound a lot cheaper than the saab ones but i do like the real thing, still as long as it look similar then im happy! :)
cheers

your polo 9n is 5x100

i'm not sure about saab wheel but from the above member saying saab wheels are 5x110 then these are the only off the shelf 5x110 H&R adaptors i can find they are vauxhall fitment

It's doable. They are 7x17. Likely ET41. Smallest adapters you can get are 15mm.

7x17 ET26 with 195/40 tyres would work on 9N.

It's a lot of trouble really (I've had 112->100 for Audi winters) for wheels that aren't wide enough to work out well.

If they were 8s then that might be better.
