Our Bravo has got a can of gunk instead of a spare. Before we go on holiday to Italy in it this year I would like to get at least a skinny spacesaver. From Fiat they are pricey, but there are plenty of other Fiat model ones from ebay (Puntos, Pandas etc..). As long as they have 4 studs I am assuming they are all compatable. Am I right in saying this? How big is a Bravo spacesaver? Thanks

Closest is probably a Stilo space saver. 15" 98x4 PCD.

Cheers Hellcat I shall look out for one.

Go to a fiat breakers and see if you can get a steel rim with tyre off a 2007+ bravo will be only £20-£40

been keeping an eye out for one at my local haunts, but none so far. will any space savers/ steels off an alpha fit?

i have the sport apparantly theres an issue of these fittingover the brakes

Alfa ones wont fit as they are 5 stud. Im not that bothered about a full size wheel unless that will fit in the well with the tools and jack. I went the full size way in my Alfa and now have an annoying jack sliding around in the boot.

My car came with 16" steels, replaced by the 16" alloys within 2 days, just swapping the tyres over. My local tyre garage put a part worn tyre on one of the steels, which I use as a spare. It fits the spare wheel well, and I'm not restricted on speed and distance if I need to use it.

I've still got 3 steel rims available. If you want one of them, its FOC, but you would need to arrange collection near Peterborough. Courier collection? PM me if you are interested.

Peterborough Aberdeen or England way?

I got the Fix'n'Flate p!sh as well - used it and need to replace it but my car (T-Jet Sport) never came with jack or other tools...

Never heard of Peterborough near Aberdeen. Last time I drove home it was in Cambridgeshire! However, my aunt and cousin live in Bridge of Allan, so I know where Stirling is

I called Fiat out of interest to see how much a "tool kit" is. A mere £115! I asked if it was made of gold at that price!

Does the Bravo have 17mm or 19mm bolts, does anyone know?

I don't know! I have a dual-ended 17/19 socket on my wheel brace (About £5 from Tesco - although mine came free with a car I bought years ago!).

Just checked, its 17mm. I've got the same Tesco socket/brace, cost me £2-50 clearance bargain!

Aye sorry - I was thinking of Peterhead!!!

but do the steels fit over the sports brakes?

i have a 16inch steel wheel in mine at that came as standard, none of that spacesaver, cans of gunk rubbish.

Have i got lucky or is this normal on euro spec cars?

is your bravo a sport and does it have the sport brakes? does the wheel actually fit?

I will try one as soon as I get a tyre sorted for the 16" steel. Looking at the size of the sport brakes I dont think they will be a problem.

Mines a 150t-jet dynamic, has the same spec brakes, and yes the steels do fit. with plenty of clearance.

I thought the sports brakes were different to all the other range. is this the stilo steel wheel you have?

I would be a bit worried if i had the dame power as a sport but worse brakes, just doesn't make sense.

Mind you mine is a euro spec, there are quite a few differences to uk. I don't have leccy windows in the back, but i do have dual climate control as standard. And i have colour coded handles, while in the uk the dynamic has more chrome.
