Wheel big problem

I got some spare cinq wheels for my car as 2 were damaged. They dont fit though. The studs are the same and look identical to cinq wheels but the offset is wrong. Has anyone any idea what they are off and how i can get them too fit.

Please help me.

Cheers paul.

not sure what size spacers you'd need as am not sure what offset the uno is

spacers are universal though

5mm spacers from Fiat Coupe should be fine. Uno has 35mm offset.

Tempra, I'd guess - do they have a ridge in the outer edge, just under where the wheel balancing weights should be?

Read the figures off the wheel - something like 5.5j13 H4 42 then get back to us fella.

the code on the wheels is,
5.5J x 13h - 42.5

On normal cinq wheels the code is,
5.5J x 13 h2 - 30.5.

Will i need longer studs if i put spacers in. Are the spaced wheels best on front or back and will it cause any handling problems?

Cheers people.

Righty ho, I'd suggest you need 12mm spacers along with 12mm longer bolts to bring everything up square again.

If you're gonna fit them, I'd suggest you use them either both on the front or both on the rear.

What tyres have they got on? You might find it easier to flog them on and get some cinq wheels second hand rather than faff on with spacers and new bolts.

Pete.
