(S) 15inch wheels.Seicento...the truth needed.

Thanks for everyones help, its been interesting. All thats left is to go pay for these things. Just to recap then. I need a wheel 6J x 15 with a offset of 25mm and a tyre 175 50 15.

thanks again.

best go for a higher offset imo. standard offset is higher than that. you can fint sei abarth alloys on without spacers.

Standard cinq alloys are an offset of 30mm go for 30mm offset

Have a look at this Gusfree

If you don't know the specs of the rim then phone your mate and ask, sadly the Seicento and big alloys for me don't mix, unpopular offset and poor choice of size means there isn't many options.

I assume you know that handling will get worse and acceleration will suffer?

Of course 15's will fit, 16's, 17's, 18's and 19's have been done but a lot of folks who done this never said how much the desired effect cost them in the end.

I ain't trying to put you off, by all means go for it but get a wheel as close to the original specs for PCD, Offset as you can to minimise hassle.

Is the original offset on a Seicento sporting 36mm ?

no only on a 14'' abarth wheel IIRC

Why is that ? What is the offset used with a normal sporting wheel ?

because a sporting wheel is only 13'' therefore smaller so im gathering will be a smaller offset. Unsure of offset

Rim size has no bearing on offset, I dunno why Fiat made the Abarth wheels a 36ET and the standard wheels 30.5? Like many of there decisions they seem to make I don't understand many of them.
