Does anyone know if the stilo Abarth 17 inch wheels will fit the grande punto? I am happy with the overall rolling diameter, pcd etc, I wondered about the off set, thank you
 
this info is from https://www.wheel-size.com
looks possible as there are varying offset for the punto and stilo

Fiat Grande Punto 2009 1.4i T-Jet

185/65R15 88H 6Jx15 ET43 4x100

195/55R16 87H 6Jx16 ET45 4x100

205/45R17 87V 6.5Jx17 ET46 4x100

215/40ZR18 87W 7Jx18 ET42 4x100

Fiat Stilo 2007 2.4i

205/55R16 91V 7Jx16 ET41 4x98

215/45ZR17 87W 7Jx17 ET41 4x98

225/45ZR17 89W 7.5Jx17 ET38 4x98

235/35ZR18 88Y 8Jx18 ET35 4x98
 
Thanks, the et is only 1mm different so can't see that causing an issue but now I see I need so wobble bolts never imagined the OCD would be different but just been and checked the wheels and it's right, thank you. My 50 pounds bargain is as ever not going to have full disclosure, if mrs Mahoney says so how how much did they cost lol.
 
Or 3mm if you go by the 18's so I think there will be an issue, fingers crossed
 
Hi Moimo,

I believe a little difference in the offset should not be an issue, while for sure a different hole patern is definitely a NO GO...

BRs, Bernie
 
Thank you, I would have had that thought a few years ago but as long as you have the correct centre bore or spigot Rings to ensure the wheels rotate on the correct axis 2mm can easily be soaked up by wobble bolts/nuts in essence 4x98 to 4 x 100 etc, basically the cone on the bolt is effectively a washer with a slightly oversized hole, the wheel centres on the bore/spigot ring and the cones butt with the recesses with in the wheel, the bolts then pull up and the difference is taken up in play, hence wobble bolt. You then need wobble locking nuts etc, they are only 30 quid for a set. The wheels are currently being refurbished/straightened etc and should be ready for bending again on Lincolnshire's roads late next week. They don't wobble once tight lol
 
So a bit of progress, they are bolted on but no spigot rings currently. They clear everywhere so I will order some bolts and centre cap stickers and get them on, I am after red 66 mm centres in a raised gel type badge, I can get 66mm blue, 60mm red or 66mm flat stickers, no doubt with a hardy cover, currently thinking 60mm red and have a 3mm gap round the edge, unless any one can point me in the direction of 66mm red fiat badges, thank you IMG_3826.JPGIMG_3832.JPG
 
Badges and spigot rings sorted, sadly I received the wrong bolts so can't fit them until that's sorted outIMG_3865.JPGIMG_3867.JPGIMG_3868.JPG
