Morning all,
I want to get some steel wheels with winter tires on for my 100hp does anyone know what's the smallest wheel I can get on for caliber clearance, 14" or 15"
Also put a full size spare in the boot (15" steel) anyone got any ideas what I can use to pad around it to make the boot floor level again? I was thinking polystyrene sheets then cut them to shape and size, but wasn't sure if there's an easier way or if anyone else has done this?

In the instruction book of the car they say 14".

You can also use steel Barchetta wheels.

Well, I gave up on Steel Wheels because they were so dear - but I was looking at 6x15 steelies at £60 each new.

Eventually I bought some 2004 Punto Sporting alloys off ebay for £150. They're 6x15 with less offset (sit closer to the hub by 5mm) and are using 195/50-15 tyres with no rubbing.

Winter 195/50s are dear though - suspect 14inch winter tyres would be cheaper

Steel is just fine enough for winter use IMHO.

I wanted those Steel wheels also but they were expensive here - plus I prefer them silver in colour and would like a small central hubcap thing.

What size are those you have?

Not mine.
But wheels are 6x15 with 185 tires.

I still use black plastic hubcap's from my old long ago Fiat Panda 750 L.
They lock between the 4 bolts.

Like so on my previous Panda 1100 young.

I went into my local scrap yard and I can get 4 punto steel wheels 14" with 4 quarter worn tyres for £40 so ten pound a wheel which I don't is too bad?
