[Andy B]

will 16" wheels from a signum fit on a omega

What's the offset on the Signum wheels? ie **ET 

[bago]

believe the offset is 35

another site says

2004 16x7.0 49 5x110.0 215/55R16 

[bago]

well no replys so will give them a try and see if they fit

[cem_devecioglu]

will fit

[05omegav6]

The offset will be stamped on the back of the wheel somewhere it will be ET??

Be surprised if less than ET38. And just because they bolt on doesn't mean they fit or are suitable

Check with your insurers as they are not a factory available size...

Er not quite

Suitability depends on the effect that unapproved size tyres/wheels have on suspension geometry and handling characteristics.

Wheels will sit further under the car, coupled with a significantly reduced contact patch, so woukd guess as a minimum that steering will be lighter, and become more twitchy, along with worsened stopping distances, and a tendancy to try and 'trip' over the outside front wheel when pushing on in the twisty bits...

probably you forget that 195/65-15 is also an original size

or was until firms decided to use posh sizes

Cem, you have no knowledge of UK insurance law. If a driver in the uk has non standard size wheels fitted without declaring it then they have every right to refuse to honour the cover.

On top of that, the 195 width tyres fitted to the Omega as standard have the correct offset

[Lazydocker]

But... Of course, they may well fit ok bolt on so that must mean it's fine to fit them

Going by OPs profile, its a facelift Elite.  All Vauxhall Elites left the factory with 17", 7.5J rims (FL) or 16", 7J rims (PFL).

whats wrong with using older standard ? same car same weight may be few kgs difference..

similiar laws apply here.. but I can bet if I open a case against insurance firm I'll win which is unncessary as they will pay..

UK insurance. Maybe Turkish is more lax, but we have to declare everything. I would also bet, even if declared, putting a narrower tyre on would invalidate it anyway.

Remember, winter tyres need declaring here, then re-declaring when the summers go back on.
