Just bought an alloy wheel to use as spare on my 1.8 Marea.

Looks pretty much the same estetically, however when I tried fitting it, the bolts wer just too short.

It appears that the rim flange thickness is different . The 1.8 Marea (and all other models) hasa6J x 43 rims and this rim is 6J x 49! It appears to come from a 2.0 20V.:bang:

Now, I've tried to purchase wheel bolts for the 2.0 however the bolts offered by suppliers are of one size for all models!!

How is this possible? Any ideas whether the 2.0 has longer bolts?

It looks like the wheel offset is the same as the flange of this rim is 6mm thicker than the rest (which should explain the difference between 49 and 43?)however the bottom of the flange is at the same distance from the rim outer edge on both types of rims.

all cars that came with alloys from factory have longer wheels nut, your 1.8 didnt come from factory with alloys,

u need bolts from a hlx car ( 1.9, 2.0, 2.0)

my marea 1.6 didnt have alloys so i got the nuts from my 20v they fit straight on

I have stacks of 20v wheel nuts (oe from old cars that i have broken or used differetn wheels on) i could have a measure up for you?

Yes, please!

no worries will do tonight

Still need that bolt measured?

The wheels on the 130JTD are probably the same as the 2.0 20v.

Yes, still awaiting info. Thanks!

So so so Sorry, i did forget all about it, i will do it tonight deffo, but from memory, my wheels bolts were 28mm long on the threaded section, but will double check tonight

Any info on the studs I need to have will be greatly appreciated

M12x1.25x28 should be enough.

Hi,

Is that the size of original Fiat studs for alloy wheels?

If yes, I will search for them.

Thanks.

Dont know about being original, but they fit, got those on marea with Bravo HGT wheels. Same threads on my brava too.

Hi,

I'm looking.

All I can find in the Fiat catalogue are M12x1,25 mm studs which are 40 mm long and have a 22 mm long thread. These are specified for all Bravo, Marea, Tempra and Punto models.

These are the ones I already have, which don't fit this alloy wheel.

22mm sounds too short, not enough thread for my wheels, would strip the threads.
I picked mine from local store, 10 bolt sets so bought two of them.
Dont have original bolts as previous owner kept the alloys for new fiat and all I got were new steel rims with rusty bolts...

Ok, thanks for your help!!

all measured, the ones i have are 28 mm, but i am currently running 30mm studs.

all HLX models come with 28mm studs uncluding diesels
