General Spare Wheel Size

[Joseph500]

Hi

I am considering getting a spare wheel for my Abarth 500 however from here (Australia) there are very few alternatives

One option is to buy a space saver from another FGA car with the correct PCD. A Coop maybe a possibility - can anyone please tell what the size of the space saver wheel in the Coop

Cheers

Hi Steve (aka Steve on AusAlfa ?)

I have been told it needs to be the 15 inch wheel at least

Cheers

I did a quick google and it appears that you have the Stilo in Australia. I got a set of 4 last year for a potential A500 and on 'paper' it would appear that they should clear the calipers...

Offset on a A500 is E35 but it can 'take' an E30. Standard width is 7J or 6.5J on the 16inch.
Stilo in 15 inch is 6J with an offset of 37. The recommended width on mytyres is with an offset of 40 in that size so it would be worthwhile checking that it clears the caliper before you buy. IMHO would be a better spare wheel than a space saver and would be shod with a 15x185/55 size tyre.

Thanks

but the stilo did not make it here - but the Bravo (Ritmo here) did but sold in tiny numbers

Just checked my Coupés spare and it's 125/80/R16 (20V Turbo) The non turbo models will have a 15" spare.
