Default Really really dumb question 99-03 wheels

Bought some second hand ones ( not arrived yet )

I take it the rear wheels are physically wider than the front.

I don't want my local tyre place cocking things up when putting the boots on.


TIA

The rears are physically wider, and the center bore in the rears is SMALLER, such that if you try to fit rears to the front of the car, they won't seat properly with the hub! So be *sure* you put the rears on the rear of the car!

Fronts are 16 x 6.5", rears are 16 x 7.5". Width is measured inside lip to inside lip, actual total widths will be more like 7.5" front, 8.5" rear.

Thanks. The wheels will be delivered to local tyre place by courier, same with the tyres.

Trying to avoid a SNAFU when I pick them up and take home to fit.
