In a nutshell, Fiat wheels fit Fiat coupe's. some newer Fiats, Grande punto's for example do not fit safely without using wobbly bolts.
The Fiat Coupe and most Fiats have a pcd of 98 which is rare.
where as Renault/vauxhall/ some rover/some VW/ some mazda etc etc.. are the more common 100pcd
These wheels can be made to fit the Fiats but the bolt holes are a couple of mm too close together on the hub in comparison to the bolt holes on the alloy. So when the bolts are put in it puts strain on them, the solution for this is to fit whats called wobbly bolts. They have play in them as they use a collar which fits into the alloy the bolt can move to locate to the slightly out of line bolt holes on the Fiat hubs.

Also with alloys check the Offset and the spigot size

hope this helps.

Vaux wheels you will 99% have issues with.

1. They're 56.6mm centre bore, Fiats are 58.1mm
2. They're normally a high offset (ET45+), you want more like ET35 for most fiats (Coupe may differ due to the larger brakes)

sorry about the double posting, not sure how to delete or why it double posted

coupe 16v turbo does not have Brembo's so should be ok clearing the callipers. I think the 16vt uses the same brakes as the 20v N/A
Is the actual wheel design on the 20vt that creates the clearence and hence why there are so few designs which will fit without spacers.

can i please remind people to use classifieds for advertising items they want to sell. If it continues then I will be forced to give out infractions
