as it says, im one of the lucky buggers who gets a compressor and some **** in a tube, but i want a spare wheel (after suffering 2 blowouts on previous cars).

Tried to do some digging but hit a brick wall really, anyways

is there a spare wheel/jack/socket tool available for the bravo?

Yep, someone put the part numbers up here a while ago. Came to about £200 or something daft if you buy all the bits from Fiat.

holy moly! £200 notes?!?!?!?!

Does the stilo spare steely wheel and kit fit in the boot and more importantly does the wheel fit on the bravo and able to run on the bravo?

and why is forum search getting pants?
 
Fiat tool kit and unused spacesaver wheel for old Bravo, off Fleabay £1 ( Collected )
Wheel brace from Tesco £2 The one with tool kit was wrong size
Steel rim, had 4 kicking around from putting alloys on :) ( got 3 left )
Tyre from a mate at the local tyre shop, OK for a spare, used but well legal, fitted FOC.

I've got 3 Bravo steelies, only done 100 miles, no tyres, foc if anyone wants one and can arrange collection from Peterborough area.

But will these fit over the brakes on the 150 multijet? If so I'd be interested if you can hang onto it for a bit - will be a while until I'm anywhere near peterborough.

They are 16" standard steels, originally fitted with 205/55R16's. As I got the 20 spoke 16" Fiat alloys, also off Fleabay, I just swapped the tyres over. My car is a 120 multijet. I don't know if your brakes are different.

BTW, obviously a full size spare is a bit wider than the spacesaver. It does just fit the wheel well, but makes the boot liner sit up a little higher, 10mm max. The tool kit carrier sits in nicely, but wont screw into the retainer a the bottom. I've got waterproofs packed around, so no rattles!

The wheels are stored nice and dry, and no pressure for the space.
 
Ah 16"... sounds like they'll fit over. I'd imagine 15" are a possibility and 14 are a nono..

Also sound like a good option for a set of winter wheels if only I can find some on ebay. Scrappies around here don't know what a Fiat looks like.
 
It's getting the combination right - plus I've probably got more chance finding a Fiat than I do a Rover!

Some 15 or 16" alloys would be nice, but if I can get steel wheels for free, or nearly free then that's much better. sacrificing style for grip (y)
