Suzuki Swift GTi will go with the stock wheels using some adapter brackets and some spacers. I take 6mm off the mating face of the disc so the spacers can be a little shorter.

volvo 440 ones have the same diameter disc and thickness disc - again, adaptor plate needed - i found that a 1/2 thick bit of dural spaced it nearly perfectly....

Having gone through every thing I could find lying around, I couldn't find much that would even fit in the space. Your chances of finding a bolt on are remote.

HI
I think I start by getting a set of callipers and some cornflake packets and see how it goes
May have that pint some time

you need saab cannot remember which model but you have to grind a little bit of the webbing off and i think they will go on.
did it on a metro trike before.
