wheel cross compatibility

Whats the best way of knowing which wheels will go on a car?

Ie, the bird wants some alloys for the Multipla, I guess Punto/Brave etc
wheels will fit, is this correct?

And what, if any, other cars are the same?

Cheers.

Oh god, typical woman, now she is telling me she doesn't want thin spokes
because you can see the brakes.

Find out what the PCD, centre bore and offset are.

Seconded.
Then check that the wheel diameter and tyre aspect ratio give the same
overall circumference of wheel and tyre as the originals, bearing in mind
that the maximum width of the wheel and tyre may be restricted by the
lateral clearance under the wheel arches.
