Recently fitted a set of Fiat Stilo alloys with 205/55 x 16 tyres but noticed the clearance on the rears was just a few mm unladen plus they rubbed on inner arch liner. fronts appeared ok but touched inner body on full lock.
Would a different profile tyre help, has anyone run this size combo on the multipla.
Any help/advice appreciated

Your prob catching the inner gaurd on the rears , a quick bend should sort it.
Or try and pick up some cheap 5mm spacers off an alfa romeo 155 ive got some on myself.

205/50 16" would be a better fit

See http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Or how about these 205/40/17 these were originally factory fit from new only but i have now found an online seller in Italy that would ship direct to uk with reasonable prices.
On the newer Multis i've seen these look fantastic.

I have the factory fitted 17's and they are splendid.Quite easy to keep clean too.

Umberto, I know someone who wants a set of these. Can you post your link to the retailer? Cheers.

It's an ebay shop based in Italy called Nevigomme. I did actually contact them direct via email and as long as you keep your english simple they will get back to you.
I emailed them with a pic of those alloys and they definately had them, all their stock is Fiat Genuine.

Having mine de scuffed on Thursday the people who used my poor car for test drives have scuffed the front wheels bad:bang:£45 per wheel and he comes to your house My wife added to the scuffs yesterdayLucky for her it's not been done yetI am also having a couple of small scuffs done on the bumpers and a all round buff for £285.Thought that was a good price.

can this chap, or anyone, get rid of dents from alloys? i.e. where the rim gets slightly flattened....
MOT passed, but it doesnt look great...

alternatively, has anyone got/seen a single Fiat 17" around for sale in UK?

Not in UK see previous post, ebay.it

Looking at the tire calc thing, it would seem you need 205/45 on a 17" rim to get the same rolling diameter?

Also says that on fiat.co.uk for the new alloys with the red fiat logo in the middle
