Saxo Wheels?

Will VTR Saxo wheels fit OK? I know they physically fit but is the offset too wrong for our Sierra equipped 7's??

Spigot rings are bigger aswell so wheel will be centered on nuts only and not the hub.

Also most Saxo VTR wheels have a solid centre (no hole) so it makes getting them balanced difficult unless you can find somewhere with a balencer that mounts the wheel by the stud holes.

ps. I can balance them

You can buy plastic spigot rings to centre them at wheel suppliers.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
