I've been trying to find information about fitting 7,5x16" wheels on a non-lowered Fiat Bravo 1.2 16V -00. The PCD is 4x100 so the wheels would be fitted with wobbly bolts and plastic spigot rings. The only problem is that the offset is 42 which might be too much for Bravo? Tires will be of size 205/45/16 which shouldn't cause any problems? I wouldn't want to use spacers as there's enough mods with the bolts and center spigots ;)

Has anyone got experience about fitting the above or similar combination? Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

These are the kind of wheels I've been looking for: Alessio Turbo

And oh, hello from the Finnish Fiat Forum :)

Hello Renegade and welcome :)

The offset that i find to be correct for a 7.5x16 wheel for a Bravo is 37mm.

Also i would recommend fitting a 195/45 tyre.

Im a big fan off Alessio wheels, my experience of them has been very good!!
 
Hey Chris and thanks for the valuable comment! I'm sure that 37 mm offset and 195/45 tyre would fit just perfectly, it's just that with Alessio Turbo they are not an option :(

I'm sure I'd be better of with "correct" PCD 4x98 wheels but the combination mentioned would be available with a very good deal :)
 
If the et42 wheels do come into contact with anything, suspension, etc. then you could always get some 5mm spacers. This would then be the same as et37. But you may be able to get away with out the need for them.

Some people frown upon using wobbly bolts and spacers but as long as the spacers were hubcentric (ie centres themselves exactly on the hub) then they would be fine.

I use wobbly bolts with my alloys and ive never had any problems (y)
 
if you can wait till 2morrow ill check my fitting box at work and tell you all the info you need mate i cant rember off the top of my head even though i have had alook myself a few days ago lol
 
16x7.5
195/45x16
37
5mm spacer requied and wobbly bolts needed

as they have said above but in my opinion im not a great fan of wobbly bolts with spacers but as chrisunoman has said as long as they sit center then they should be fine

its alot better then trying to put 4x100 e38 vauxhall wheels on a saxo they need 20mm spacers lol
