Hi all,

I have myself a set of the 14" Abarth Alloys on my Seicento Sx. I found out off of here that hey required 10mm spacers on the fronts and we got some for the front. Upon fitting the universal ones (non hubcentric) hit the caliper. Clearly they can't be used so we tried the wheel on with no spacer to see what it actually catches on. The answer is,, nothing. Its seriously close to the track-rod end but doesnt hit at all not even on full lock or when driving. I shall get some pictures on when i get the car home next to show how it fits. Just thought id share my findings.

Many thanks

Ben
 
It does turn in pretty tight. Yea need to get out in it some more to assess the handling but hubcentrics are defiantly on the to do list. They are yea, trying to fit them is bad enough.

I ran without spacers on the XE seicento... simply because i didnt realise i needed any until it was pointed out to me afterwards... I didnt notice any difference driving other than the tyre catching my box on full lock, however with a fiat engine and box that shouldnt be a problem.
 
I'm running no spacers at the min, although I have got 4 abarth ones waiting to go on. I've got a 6 speed box on and the lock is horrific, I get maybe half a turn going right and a turn and half ish goin left.

also the handling is a worse than my old 13" ones at the min.
