Best tyre for a 14" Wheel on Cinq ?

Right, i've seen some alloys i'm after, and they come with 175/65/14 tyres.
Would these fit on a Cinq ?

Just wondering whether i'd need new tyres if i bought these alloys.

And it never said jack about it in the FAQ... sooo AKA i read the FAQ but there were too many long words and not enough pictures

They might fit, but they'd knock the speedo way out. They might also not handle the best, or look that good TBH.

As in the FAQ (if it ain't in there it should be) 185/50 or 195/45 if alloy is over 6" wide seems to be the flavour of the month. You be hard pushed to find 175/50, and if you do, they would be rather expensive.

Re: Best tyre for a 14" Wheel on Cinq ?

Just because i am not a car specialist doesn't mean you should start editing my posts to make me look thick.

Just because you may have spent hours writing these FAQ's, doesn't mean you can force them on people.

I Skim through information.

IF PEOPLE READ THE FAQ'S and WERE ALL SUPER MECHANICS, THIS FORUM WOULD HAVE NO TRAFFIC.

I was asking what was the best tyre size for a 14" Wheel, and now specifically, the 5 Spoke Abarth Wheel.

Sometimes i feel like pulling my hair out on this forum, i asked a civil question and get a load of bull**** back and some mod editing my posts.

Thanks.

Re: Best tyre for a 14" Wheel on Cinq ?

no you stated the information isnt in the faq.it iss and even includes a link to a tyre size calculator so you can work out any required combination retaining rololing radius as near as possible.
now had you said i checked the faq but wasnt sure

Get over the FAQ thing Custard. Its really unwelcoming for new members and a bit rude to regular members...

The Cinq Abarth ones are Dave, but you can get 14" versions on Puntos IIRC.
