alloy question

whats the offset that fits on cinq's with 14" alloys? et 38?

cos me m8 got some alloys which i think will fit on me cinq but ill only want to swap alloys not tyres ( cos me 185 55's are mint ) and how much ya reakon a place would charge to swap over tyres for is ?

I ll try to translete from here:

Alloys 14"

There are 2 importants parameters in setting up such alloys in cinqu/sei. First of all - maximal rim width range 5.5" - 6" and it is close related with ET... for 5.5" - ET 35
Second, is weel height it's connected with tyre size...[...]... folowing sizes of tyres fits: 155/65/14, 165/60/14, 175/50/14, 185/50/14 and 195/45/14. Unfotuneatly didn't have any different sizes in my hands so I don't know if it fits.

For cocnerned: stadard sei abarth alloys 've 5.5" wide and ET 36, (but AFAIR there are spacers ~5-8mm)*

I would also add that parameters with I mentioned about ware applayed in standard car (without wdeneded body, with standard and also lowered suspension)

dude there have been sooooooooooo many posts about wheel offsets an tyres sizes and stud pattern ect.

the cinq has an offset of 30.5mm
the stud pattern is 4x98

so if u were to try an fit 38 offset wheels u would need spacers that are about 8mm wide.

i have punto wheels on mine which are 5.5" wide, have a natural offset of 36mm and have 175/50/14 tyres, even with 6mm spacers i still get rubbing on the front at full lock.

however some people have got 34/35mm offset wheels on their cinq with no spacers an no trouble.

personally i dont think u will b able to get full lock at all with 38mm wheels and 185/55 tyres, granted it is not even 1cm wider, but your wheels and arch liners will notice the difference!

well they rubbed at full lock so i sellin em and doin summit else with da money dunna what like i dot wanna lower it cos i wont be able to have 5 ppl in car anymore

Standard cinq offset is actually 29mm and 4x98 pcd as with most fiats

On my cinq ive got 5.5" wide 14" wheels with a 34mm offset and no spacers at all with 185/50 tyres and have never had rubbing even though its lowered 40mm

Wayne, if you look at Cinq Sporting rims, the offset which is 30.5 is clearly stamped on the rim.
