Xantia wheel swap?

Unread post by Old-Guy »

Can anyone tell me with certainty, if the 5.5J steels from the Green Lady (1.9TD SX) will fit over the bigger front discs/callipers of the VSX. Yes, I'm aware of the insurance implications but the narrower rims are shod with an almost new set of Goodyear Ultragrip winter tyres, whereas the VSX has Nexens on the front and Crap Ho cheapies on the back, so it would make sense to swap wheels between the two cars for the winter.

Apologies for being lazy, but I have so little spare time at present that I don't want to waste a precious free, dry, half-day collecting tools, jacking up both cars only to find that the swap won't work.

SX and VSX both use the same size calipers. UNLESS one's a hatch the other an estate.

If the old SX had 15" wheels then there be no issues.

Sorry, had a senior moment. I actually have a note of which size discs/callipers are (supposed to be) fitted to what. Thanks anyway. Now that it's mid-November, I should probably should do the swap this week if time permits.
