Can I swap the alloys on my Vectra with steel wheels?
I own a 2002 Vauxhall Vectra, can I change from alloys to steel wheels safely?

Yes. Whatever steel wheels were standard on the model. But you will need to use the correct, chamfered shoulder bolts for the steel wheels. Could be that the bolts for the alloys are not chamfered.

Far better than previous Vectra. Now with decent handling and an excellent ride. Plenty of safety kit. Roomy in the front. Big boot. Good looks.
