That is more clear. Universal steelies would not be hubcentric. Descriptors like "universal fit", "multifit" would will not be hubcentric.

"OE fit" & "factory fit" appear to signal the proper bore size, but you still need to check.

The key to steelies in addition to 5x100 is "hubcentric" with a "56.1 mm bore size". We know that 16" wheels should fit because the spare is actually a 16" wheel.

As previously discussed two steel wheel codes that appear to reflect 56.1 bore dimensions appear to be:

x66008 50mm offset
x66008-1 42 mm offset
x40867 references appear inconsistent sometimes regarding dimensions.

What I think you do not want are steel wheels with a bore of 57.1 as I do not believe these are hubcentric?
