Will a 1.2 8v turn alloy wheels?
Only kidding mate - couldnt resist.
You shouldnt need spacers no - they should have supplied wheels with the correct offset - double check though.

No, take off the bearing grease caps on the hubs and you should be fine. Remember to grease the bearings up every once and a while though. Its a common problem.

Have you tried fitting the caps before fitting the wheels?
As you will have a little bit more room for the centre clips to open and fit in with out the wheel fitted.

What is the point in fitting spacers? Just remove the grease caps.
Mine went on fine after I removed them.

Great, I've got GTE discs and calipers going on soon.
I forbid to fit spacers, I shall file down the part of the caliper that rubs on the wheel.

Take the grease cap covers off. I had to do this on front and rear. Then I had the back one greased up loads and the cetre caps fitted on fine.
With the front I also had to have a bit filed off that sits behind the grease cap cover than came off.
my thread from when i fitted mine!

Did I read that right... how would u fasten the wheel nuts?
I have 3mm spacers on mine with this problem. It's common with these wheels on Corsa's.
