I'll check the stock pile later, but with that offset I suspect they will be either 5x112 (granada) or 13"/14" (mk3 escort)
definatly have a pair of steels in 6x15" ET49 (i.e. early mk3 mondeo) with legal 195/60's on them - that any good to you ?
(I use them as spares for my mk1 focus - same size as its alloys  )
or might have a 15" pug 206 wheel I could borrow, but that'll be a 65.1mm centre bore and I'm not sure about the width/offset....

I have tried all the combinations of 6J and 7J the only wheel I can get (Minilite style) that has near enough the right offset and tyre combinatiion
is a 5.5 J x 15 with a 185/55/15 tyre if I cannot confirm that it fits or it does not fit in reality I will have to fit a modern wheel whhich will
look terible. So 5.5J or nothing....sorry!

More information
More information
The problem is I want a Minilite design. The only company that makes a wheel like that is Compomotive with the larger offsets (38mm). They however are
not going to make any for a couple of months (maybe). Compomotive have some 5.5J x 15 ET34 in stock but I don't know if they fit with 185/55/15
tyres and give me sufficient margin.
14" Wheels do not fit with Hydra/VW/Passat OEM caliper. Iwould have to machine a lump off the caliper. The manufacturer does not recommend this
approach.
195/50/15 Tyres on a 6J or 7J wheel giving 0 margin with the GRP bodywork.
185/55/15 on 6Jx 15 ET34 are better but but would prefer just a bit more margin.
