the PCD is how far appart the holes are appart, each car manufacturor has the own PCD.

also check the offset(et) as thats how far the alloy sticks out from the hub and if thts wrong it cud cause the wheels to rub, for a vauxhaul it shud be between 45-49et.

like suggested the best bet is just to try and see but im pritty sure ford has a different pcd.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
