I am wondering if all steel wheeled Bravo/a came with 15" wheels?

I have an Idea, which has a set of 15" alloys as standard and a set of 15" winter tyres to go on it.
I thought it would be easy to pick up a set of rims off a scrapped Bravo/a but have tried every scrapper in West Yorkshire and they claim not to have any.

Also, if anyone has the info off the top of their head on the actual wheel width and offset it would mean I can carry on searching in confidence. The hub size and bolt pattern are the standard Fiat and the rim on my car is 6Jx15H2-40. I guess anything between 5 and 6 width and 35-45 offset should be fine for the few months they will be used a year.

Thanks

more likely 14's i would have though?

I have just been looking into this and had completely forgotten about the Stilo. (me and the rest of the world!)

Maybe 14" on the Bravo and 15" on the Stilo.

You must have a 1.8 with an offset of 40mm. My Mk1 manual says;

The 1.4 had
Steel 14" 5.5J offset-37
non-power steering model 14" 5.5J offset-32

1.6 and 1.8 had steel rim option of
14" 6J offset-43

1.9D
14" 5.5J offset-37

I think you will have to look at another model for 15" 6j steel wheels, stilo maybe multipla?.

My Bravo has 14" steel wheels.

Both 15" and 14" are possible. Original tyre sizes for mk1 1.6,1.8,2.0(bravos until 1999 model year) are 175/65-14 or 185/60-14 or 195/55-15

Thanks, I imagine the steel wheeled Ideas used the 5.5x14-37 wheels that got put on everything. Pity the website I was on insisted they all had 15" wheels.
I think the Multipla was the only one that had a different offset, the later Doblos seem to use 15" though.

Will probably get the tyres fitted on the alloys and then get them swapped back in march. The price people are charging for wheels at the moment makes it fairly reasonable to do this.
I can then search through the specs a bit more thoroughly.

The easiest wheels for spares are 14" steelies from Tipo, Brava, Bravo, Marea and probably most Mk2 puntos. Some Mareas may have had 15" steelies..

I put 2 x brava/o/marea steel rims on the front of my Tipo and they much improve the cornering over the old tipo wheels because they stick out more i.e. the negative offset is less. I don't know which model they came off as I ordered them over the phone.

They are stamped 5.5j and ET35.

I am tryin to get + 2 more for the back but all the breakers are telling me all their Bravas have ET37 rims. Does anyone know which Brava/Bravo model was fitted with a steel ET35? Could it be a Marea fitment?

Thank you for any light you can shed on this?

My brava has 14.

4*98

That is the diameter, not the offset. You would need to look at the ET no. stamped by the wheel nut. It transpires mine are actually Punto wheels !

I'm after gawking at several different sets of wheels, mostly the mk2 wheels and some mk1 wheels. All have a 37 offset.

You could use spacers...
