This is a way of measuring the distance between the hole centres on the wheel hub. On four - stud hubs this is done diagonally - measure between opposite holes- On a five-stud hub (which the bora is) i think it's measured around the outside but if that's the case 100mm seems a bit big. Most five stud wheel set ups are standard though afaik

Hope this - slightly flawed assistance - helps!
