Am looking to buy a set of ordinary road tyres and wheels and save my 4x4 Winter tyres for the bad weather .
I'm sure others have done this and must know what size from what model fit a 2013 Panda 4x4 without the need for spacers etc.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions and advice.
Regards
 
Fiat 500 wheels fit.
I put some Abarth wheels (17") on mine but removed them as the looked rubbish!

My only concern with fitting them (wheels from different models) though is insurance problems. Some insurers don't like anything other than standard and will take it as a modification.

Javnas had a set of 15 lounge panda wheels for sale. I reckon you'd be alright with those

Hi swinnerton,

If you log onto mytyres.co.uk, you can select "Wheel and Tyre Packages" down the left-hand side.

I then chose "Steel rims with winter tyres"; this then brings you to the page where you enter your car.

Under FIAT you have got "NEW PANDA 4X4 0.9 TWINAIR 8V" or "NEW PANDA 4X4 1.3 MULTIJET 16V.

Then you can choose whether you want 14" steel wheels or 15" steel wheels along with the brand of tyre.

As for insurance, I guess all you can do is give your insurer a ring. These wheels are standard FIAT ones for the Panda so you should be fine.

I bought a complete set of four from mytyres back in 2011 for our old 500 Pop. These wheels are exactly the same as the ones for the Panda, so I used them again last winter.
 
Will 14" fit on the panda 4x4 okay?

There's no issues with brake calliper clearance or such like?

Oh right...well I have no idea to be fair!

Just going by what is on the mytyres website though. I would be surprised if they are selling wheels that don't fit though - I specifically picked the 4x4 versions rather than just a regular Panda.

Maybe worth contacting mytyres as well to get their opinion?

Edit: I just had another look and it was my mistake; there are no 14" steel wheels listed for the 4x4, only 15". Phew!
