So,
I am taking Peter's advice and will get a set of 15" 6,5J rims, with a Michellen 195/55R15 tyre. I am struggling though to find 15" 4x100PCD 6,5J rims in this country. When you ask for those spec rims, they always say: "O, you're looking UNO wheels"... well I guess I am.
So I will have to consider the alternative and go for 100PCD's and fit a 98PCD to 100PCD adapter, similar to the one shown in the picture.
I have read similar threads with regards to these conversions and there are some against, a lot for and then there are purist... the thing is, in my country, I do not have a lot of options and will have to go this route.
Additional advise on this subject with be appreciated. I am also not sure about the additional spacing it will bring about. I am thinking that the extra space might cause additional felxing too.
I am also still worried about the front weight and the flexing on the chassis rail. I have searched high-and-low and have come accross FIAT Uno threads where the owner have installed a (custom) brace, compensating for the gearbox mounting and then taking additional braced to the front of the car. Yes, it will influence the clearance, but it is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
I will definitely be putting in aftermarket poly-bushes and this will also hopefully help. I have also attached a picture of the brace I intend making for the car.
I have also attached pictures of a lower control arm kit (custom made) which I found on another forum. I suspect they are more rigid and will compensate a lot for those rolls. That is just a thought at this stage.
I really want to get this suspension "bullet proof"... I am not looking at
tuning my ride to become a racing car... just a reliable strong-handling suspension.
Thoughts and advise will be appreciated.
Regards
Hugo
