156 sw vs. 159 sw (rems)

Hi,

I have a 159 SW (2005) and was wandering if I can use my rems (17") on
a 159 SW (when I'm changing car the next time) ?

TIA

You're just messing with my head now, aren't you?

Nope :-)

It's just that Every car has its own ideal size. Inch, ET no. 4 or 5
bolts and such.

But I guess your answer clears it out for me.

Mike - 'pologies for not addressing the issue of your OP. You might want to
read your initial post just one more time and you may spot the reason for my
admittedly facetious comment.

On the other hand, you might want to completely ignore such remarks.

And finally... Yes, i know what you mean about tyre/wheel sizes. I tried all
sorts of fixes to get my 3.0 164 wheels on to my 2.0 164 - none worked and I
got rid of them. Then I found that, apparently, they'd have straight swapped
on to my 2.0 166 that replaced the 2.0 164.

But that's not really about tyre/wheel fittings, that's just another example
of the fact that useless rubbish remains so until the day after you've got
rid of it - at which point it becomes invaluable but too expensive and/or
difficult to replace.

Hmmm. I was just kind of hoping that I could save some money and use
my (new) OZ Grandturismo GT rems (with expensive BridgeStone tires)
:-S
