Re: How do i know what alloy wheels fit a Bongo
Thank you for the info's, I did see that previous post but didn't know how to find the size of the juke alloys, I have now found out they PCI and offset are OK but the center hole is 1mm out, will this mean they wont fit at all or will they squeeze on?
