I've got a Bravo Active Sport t-jet 150 and have bought 16inch Fiat Genuine Dynamic Alloy Wheels but I have no bolts !.
Could someone inform of what bolts I need ie the thread length of the bolts
Fiat will order me the bolts [£91] but can't tell me the length what a bargin !!!,and other's will sell me a set when I can inform them of the thread length I need !!!.
 
Do you have the new wheels? If so take a single bolt and one of your current wheels, measure the length of the shank (the threaded section on the bolt), then stick the bolt through a hole in the original wheels and measure the exposed length. Do the same with the new wheel and add the difference between the 2 exposed lengths to the shank length and that's what you need to order. Tbh I can't see it being any different, I fitted Dynamic alloys onto my partners GP Active which was rolling on steel and used the same bolts.
 
I have an Active that came with 16" steels. I've fitted the 16" Fiat 20 spoke accessory alloys for the Bravo, and it uses the same bolts.

Think about it, if you have alloys and a steel spare, the same bolts must fit. You don't have a spare set of bolts for your spare.

have a look at your spare, you will notice the bolt holes are thick machined inserts

My spare is one of my original steels, so bolts are right, and the centre is just a pressing, not machined.

I have compared my length with another member ( oooh-err ) and its the same as on a car originally fitted with alloys.
 
If the bolts from my steel wheels are long enough can these same bolts be used for alloy wheels ?
 
Maybe I've not explained myself too clear,
I've bought a set of Fiat Bravo Dynamic alloys to replace my steels

So I've only got the bolts that came with the Bravo some are saying that these bolts can be used for the new alloys and that the Fiat bolts are the very same bolts for steel or alloy Fiat wheels.

I don't wont to pay out for a new set of bolts only to discover they are the same, but also I don't wont to risk anything that involves fixing wheels as far as a safety issue.

I know plenty who do use the same bolts but what I would like is that it can be confirmed they are safe to use these Fiat bolts before I use them
 
Thanks for the info, I have asked around what the thread length of the bolts on a Bravo with alloys but I've had no luck with any info
