Re: 17" alloys

I've 17's on mine and lowered 40mm.

The alloys Confirmed with Fiat dealership will be okay, I never asked about springs. and its declared on my insurance. so I'm fine

I've a 1.2, go for it, pick nice ones now!

Re: 17" alloys

I'm with Stripes on this, our cars are both setup identically. Just remember that your warranty will be void if the problem is caused by the wheels or the springs.

The wheels should be fine though, they send out the Linear Edition 1.2 with 17's on it, providing you get the right tyre size you SHOULD be ok.

Most people go for 205/45/17 (i have 204/40/17 cost more to buy though )

If you are lowering, stay clear of PI springs, and probs any of the other cheap ones, get Eibach Sportline, or save for coilovers.
