Same PCD different spigot size and nut O/D size. With the wheels you need spigot bushes and nuts.
 
Just put a set of RR 2010 19" wheels on mine and they look good. I did need the spigots and new nuts though as already mentioned.

If you want earlier type I have set of five 18" Hurricanes with nuts and centre caps which will be listed on here and Ebay in a day or two.
 
Thanks guys , daft question though , with regards the nuts what sort do you need? Are they just the ones that would have been fitted to the later RR

Im sure plenty on here will agree with you, but I think they look fantastic with 22's.

Ready for the abuse about being a pimp, drug dealer and chav etc. Although I will point out now that I am none of these things. But yes mine does have 22's.

Have you driven on on 22"?
It is certainly not as nice as on 18" with a big profile tyre, but I would hardly say destroyed.

have i driven on 22s mmmmmmmmmm yes im afraid i have a few times actually and got rid of them asap.well all is not about how it looks some prefer the drivability 19" max are best suited
 
16" is the actual size engineered for and allows sufficient sidewall profile to deal with terrain while also ensuring the lazy luxurious ride that is the P38s hallmark (on air, I hasten to add!). Even the 18" hurricanes were a cosmetic enhancement for higher spec / facelift models and offered by the factory as only a very minor technical compromise. Any more is silly because you will never corner fast enough for sidewall flex to be a significant factor in your "lap-times". A tall 2 tonne SUV will lean too far or the tires will break traction causing TC and ABS to intervene and in the P38 you can't switch these off. The purpose of low profiles is track performance. The purpose of big wheels is to accommodate low profiles and also larger diameter brake discs. SUVs riding on low profiles, usually with regular brake discs showing through are about as pointless as a huge rear wing on a 20 year-old 1.4 litre Astra. They scream out "my owner is ignorant and just wants to look cool." A parvenu as they used to say. :eek::behindsofa:

Right, off to top up the Pimms now. Pip pip. :)
 
Anyone who disagrees with you must be ignorant then.

22" wheels on a a P38 is hardly the same thing as a whale tale fitted to a 20 year old 1.4 Astra.

A bit of a presumtious statement there claiming any one who has a car which is not modified to your taste, is obviously from a poor or disadvantaged social background.

only need to look at ghetto music to see it is CHAV Bling
 
It sounds like you want to critersize anyone who wants to display there indviduality!
We are not sheep! everyone is differant so every car should be differant!
Im not a fan of big spoilers on 20year old cars eather but if thats your thing!! Same as 22s on rangies i think there too big! others will disagree!
Its our right to be differant that deffines us!
Besides critersisum is 26% jellosy and 10% inscurity
 
Sorry to have sent this off on a Chav / taste route but trying to get back on to the fitment topic , I have seen some wheels off a 2000 p38 will I still need spigots etc mine is a 1998
Cheers
