Just to go back to the original question which was about fitting a Corsa wheel on a Fit. Someone at Honda, who I trust told me that Honda nuts and way they mate with the wheels are unique to Honda. From memory, I think he said they have a curve rather than a straight taper shape. Anyway, even if the Corsa wheel fits you may well need a set of standard nuts to fit it.

Most wheel nuts have a 60 degree taper, Honda do have a sort of spherical seat. When I got Rial 15" alloys for wifes Jazz they came with a full set of 60 degree taper nuts. 60 degree nuts are easy to get, 'tinternet is awash with them.

Yep. I found and attached a picture to my earlier post. So the Corsa spare might be fine but will need a set of standard nuts carried with it.

There are some bargains out there, on eBay I’ve just bought a single 15”Mk3 alloy wheel ( as fitted to the SE version ) with an excellent Michelin Energy saver for £55.
