if the 38 refers to the ET then thats OK
4X100 is the correct PCD
what is the 4X108?
and importantly you have omitted the rim diameter i.e. 14" 14" 16" or 17"

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply they are multi fit so i think 108 is the other size they can fit,

They are 15" wheels,


Im clueless with alloys and dont understand the charts people show me to explain it #-o

Thanks

with 15" rims if you go with 195/50/15 tyres they will be as close as you can get to the same rolling radius as Std. tyres, actually they will be 0.28% smaller or the difference between a brand new tyre and a part worn one, speedo reading will at 70MPH be 0.2MPH slower
so pretty much as close as you can get
edit
forgot to mention the center bore is 54.1mm, so the wheels need to be this or bigger then you will need the correct size spigot rings

Donna, just in case you're not familiar with spigot rings. They are sleeves that fit in the centre of the wheel to make wheel snug on the axle. Without these the wheel, just sits on the wheels nuts and that's not completely stable. Decent alloy wheel companies carry lots of different sizes of spigots so that wheels can fit different cars, with different centre sizes. I had to 'phone a few however, before finding one that carried a decent range.

So you can drive down there on the wheel nuts alone and they can remove one wheel and match a spigot design. I paid a tenner for 4.
