Personally, I wouldn't fit wobble bolts at all... I don't trust them where wheels are concerned ::) ::)

for the fronts you can have either 225 - 245 40/45 18 and for the rear you caqn have anything up to 285's without having any rubbing issues.

I have 8.5 x 18 on the front and 10.5 x 18 on the rears, and the tyre sizes I went for were 225/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the rear
Blimey, properly tyred as per GM's recommendations, Omega's understeer like a pregnant dog at speed. That must be a handful in the bends ;D

the ponly time I have ever hada problem with the handleing was when it was snowing..  cos of the wide rears I had no traction..   apart from that it handles like a gokart...

Have you got hubcentric spacers or are you not running much -camber/

no spacers and I haven't touched the camber...  all I did was fit the wheels and tyres and then to it t the garaged t get a 4 wheel alignment

you could use adapters or have them redrilled but imho i would just buy the one's that fit right in the first place there's loads of second hand wheels out there going cheap

You would need these.

http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/category_results.mhtml?category=hrwheeladaptors&car=vauxhallomega&manufacturer=hrwheels&sub_category=1

Would widen the track by 20mm or more and allow you to fit BMW alloys.
though about doing it myself as the BMW alloys are very appealing.

But I've not got £140 rolling about at the moment.
