Yeah I know, another thread about wheels.

As per the title, do the new Fiat Bravo and 500 wheels fit on a stilo? I know the pcd and centre bore is all good. I was going to buy some, but the chap said there is a problem with the offset.

His he correct? I've looked at 3 different Alloy fitment guide websites now and thev're all got different specifics for the 500 and Bravo.

Could somebody please be kind enough to clear this matter up before he sells the wheels?

Mucho Gracious.
 
what is the offset of the wheels you are looking at?

The above I've been told are ET31. I don't understand though as I thought the bravo was exactly the same as the fiat Stilo, ET35 to ET45. The Bravo guys in the other forum have already told me they'll go on no problem. The guy must be getting confused or something. The above Alloy wheels are from the Fiat Bravo Sport right?

The above as far as I can see, will fit perfectly. But I've looked at similar adverts for exactly the same alloys and they've got a different offset. The ones here are ET38 but the ones below are ET34 and they're exactly the same Alloys.

One more thing, can I fit Alloy wheels that are 6.5J? I don't understand what the 6.5J or 7J means in relation to the fitment of Alloy Wheels.

Thanks for replying by the way. I just want to be sure before I press the bid button. (y)

The J number is to do with how wide the wheel is, the bigger the number the wider the wheel. So if you stuck on 9Js there is a good chance the inside edge of the wheel will rub on the the inside of the wheel arch (y) Stilo wheel arches are roomy though so I don't know how big you can go in terms of width, 18's will fit under there so maybe 8-9J will be ok :confused:

Can't wheel spacers cure any offset problems??
 
The stilo and bravo basically have the exact same suspension.. it is actually the exact same car :) I own a Bravo and it now has 16 inch alloys from the stilo (y) Don't know about the 500
 
i'm looking at fitting a set of 16's off a coupe to my stilo, was offered them (with good tyres) at a price i cant complain at, £40 for a full set!
