They'll fit (i.e 110mm pcd 5 bolt pattern), but the offset will be ET45 or thereabouts being from a front wheel drive car. An Omega needs an offset of ET35-38.
You'll need spacers by Eibach / H&R and these will cost you roughly another £180 for the 2 pairs.
There's enough space under an Omega's arches to use +25mm spacer per corner at the rear and +16mm spacer per corner at the front.
These wheels are from a Vectra/Signum-C VXR...
Cheers mate, very useful info

I agree with ians mate, probably just the old oil burning off unless it's actually dripping when it's running.
I had loads of old oil left to burn off after i did mine, took a couple of weeks.

Ah right, cheers.
I've come across this aswell which is roughly what i'm after...
http://vauxhallspares.co.uk/irmscher.html
Seems like a good price aswell.
How much roughly would a genuine twin pipe cost from the stealers?

Omega General Help / sports backbox?
« on: 13 April 2008, 22:29:55 »
Hi folks, i've been thinking of tarting the mig up a bit before i go to pv in june. The first thing i wanted to do was find a decent looking and sounding backbox for it(nothing ott) but i can't seem to find any after flickng through ebay and other sites.
Does anyone now anywhere that sells sports backboxes for the miggy?
Any pics of omega rear ends with aftermarket exhausts would be helpful aswell if anyone has any

Omega General Help / Re: Cam Cover Bolts
« on: 15 April 2008, 11:44:05 »
I agree with ians, mine are seeping a little from a couple of the bolts but i did my gaskets and o rings a few months ago.
I'm not gonna start messing with it again unless the actual gaskets start to leak again.

No mate, just pull the easiest one to get to.
I keep checking mine but everything's still ok atm.
Mine used to drip with oil when i pulled one out, that's how i knew it had to be done pretty sharpish.

Pull a plug lead out and the wells will probably be full of oil if it is the gaskets, very very common problem on miggys.
I did mine a few months back and used this guide...

Not that hard if you've got a bit of mechanical knowledge

If it's a v6 then it's more than likely the cam cover gaskets, loads of info on here about it
